I have been taking Amitriptyline since the beginning of this year, I was having trouble sleeping,concetrating, depressed etc. My neuro said that it was symptoms similiar to post traumatic stress..the medicine has helped some but it is still difficult sleeping and I still have some "down" days but that is life   I think it has helped me some.  Good Luck!!

thankyou your for your comments. I was wondering though for those on it how long it took it for them too feel the full effects. It has calmed me down some but I still am having headachs. The reason I was put on this is because it is one of the few long term medicines my insurance will cover. Thankyou to everyone who has replied or whill reply.

I was diagnosed with M/M in January of 2003 and was put on Elavil for the exact same reasons.  Just  FYI, it  is known for weight gain.  I have gained about 30-35 pounds since taking  it.  Because of this, my doctor just took me off and put me on a different drug.  But, I just wanted to let you know that in my doctors on words that sometimes this drug will make you want to "even eat the labels off of the cans in your pantry!!"  It may not be a problem for you, but you may want to ask about what your doctor thinks.     Laura from Louisiana
