I've been on Elavil 10mg Tablets (Amitriptyline) for the past few months to prevent migraines, and it's been a bit of a journey. I was initially drawn to it because it can help with sleep, which is a bonus for me. However, I've experienced some side effects that have been a challenge. I'm curious if anyone else has had similar experiences or advice on how to manage them. The drowsiness is helpful for sleep, but constant fatigue is not. I've also noticed some changes in my mood, so I'm not sure if that's a side effect or just my body adjusting.

I've been on Elavil 100mg tablets for a few months now, and while it's definitely helped with my nerve pain, the side effects are brutal. I'm constantly dealing with dizziness, dry mouth, and some really weird dreams. I know these are common side effects, but it's getting tough to deal with. Has anyone else had a similar experience? How did you cope? Or did you find a different medication that worked better? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
