Hey how are you doing and how are you feeling, how many days has it been know? I wanted to ask you something. I read one of you replys a few days ago and meant to ask you then, you said you took Elivil? How did that work for you? I have a prescription of 65 with 6 refills but I had never heard of it untill I got the prescription, I asked around in here and some folks had heard of it but no really experiences that I can remember, If you dont mind please tell me about it, I read its main purpose was an anti-depressant, but has been known to help with chronic pain and also sometimes for sleeping, did it put you to sleep? And did it help emotionally, just whatever you can tell me? thanks, rl

I TOOK ELAVIL FOR A FEW YEARS FOR DEPRESSION. I TOOK IT AT NIGHT BECAUSE IT DOES KNOCK YOU OUT. BUT WHILE I WAS TAKING IT I WOULD HAVE BAD NIGHTMARES AND SEE THINGS. SO I QUIT TAKING IT. IT WORKS GOOD FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE, JUST NOT FOR ME. I KNOW TAKE PAXIL WHICH HAS SAVED MY LIFE, ITS WONDERFUL FOR DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY.
