> Elizabeth, you said other tricyclites have less side effects than elavil. Can you please tell me specifically what side effects are lesser with those drugs, etc. I need more info on this subject. Thanks...
I was thinking of desipramine in particular, also nortriptyline (less so). Some side effects that I can think of that they are less likely to cause than amitriptyline are: sedation, dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, and cognitive impairment (in other words, nearly all the side effects that the tricyclics have!).
Good luck....
