In reply to SLEEP--does anything work for long term, posted by Donut on April 13, 1999, at 11:47:12
When my main problem is inability to stay asleep at night I always go back to Elavil. I've been on it several times over the past 10 years - by itself or with a another antidepressants. Doesn't take much, 10-25 mg at bedtime is plenty. It's especially great when starting a new antidepressant that keeps me up. I used it recently while getting used to Effexor XR; it was really keeping me up at night. After about 6 weeks of Effexor I started feeling really drowsy during the day and stopped the Elavil. Still sleeping great, feeling pretty wonderful.
