> I was on elavil( yould think I would at least know how to spell it HA!) for 17 yrs until switched to effexor and it was working excelent and I was incredibly happy on it , except for the approx 40 lb weight gain , which I didnt hold back much on eating. but I took 5 50's a day and was the epitomy of agitated severe depresion. It was doom and gloom in 2 days of of it and it worked in 2 days when Iwent back on it
It's funny how different we all are, 250 mg of amitriptyline would make me comatose. In fact I noticed the pills I have are 25 mg not 50, the Trazodone are the 50's, so you were doing well on 10X the dose that I can't tolerate. OTOH I was taking 300-800 mg of Provigil along with 200 mg caffeine, ginseng, tyrosine and still had very little energy or focus.
