Cam,i am a very healthy eater. however, with the combination of prozac and elavil, i've gained 30 lbs. i take the elavil to sleep and it has gotten rid of my anxiety attacks. the prozac is a small dose, 10 mgs. elavil is 50 mgs. any suggestions for something to replace the elavil? i have insomnia and am now getting really the best sleep i've had in ages with the elavil. help~~~~~~~ pat

fayerody - You could ask your doc about using 50mg to 100mg of trazodone (Desyrel™) instead of the Elavil™ (amitriptyline). That is, of course you are not also using the Elavil™ something like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, neuropathic pain, and such. Ask your doctor if he/she thinks that this would be an appropriate option for you.
I hope that this is of some help - Cam |
