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 want to know if it's something I should be worried about or if it's just part of the transition period. Also, does anyone know how long it takes for the body to fully adjust to this medication? Looking for some insights and advice from the community. Thank you!
