I take Elavil 25 mgs each night and I take Lyrica 150mgs 3x daily. The Elavil was prescribed for me for bladder control. I also take Ditropan XL 20mgs at night. The Ditropan and the Elavil keep me dry all night. Laurie in Baltimore

I too was put on that for a short while back in the 70's for depression. I too felt 'right out of it' or 'stoned'. I couldn't take it then and guess I will just stick with the Neurontin.

The best way I can describe it is that I felt stoned. It was called Elavil then. In those days, they gave it to people in nursing homes to keep them quiet. But everyone reacts differently, so try it and let us know what happens, something good I hope. I take Neurontin but decided on my own to gradually decrease the dose, and eventually stop taking a medication that I believe bogus. So far, I see no difference in the pain and the darned TM symptoms. Good luck with the Elavil. R
