Well, it's been 10 yrs since I began Elavil but I'd remember if it bothered me.
I'm lucky in that aspect to have a somewhat iron stomach. Aspirin bothers many tummies - not mine. Antibiodics bother many ... not mine. Different foods bother many ... not me.
All you can do is experiment to SEE if, in fact, it IS Elavil. And you know my opinion on Neurontin.. one has to increase it exponentially to experience relief. No difference to me and taking huge doses and more all the time is uncool w/ me. Then a year to get off it!
I'm experiencing bad torso pain and abdominal pain/aching overnight and off/on during the day. BAD!
Now I don't know if it's my infection or spinal. I give up! Frustrating!

My Doc told me I need to try neurotin or elavil--- I tried elavil 3 days and slept good 1st night then had some indigestion next 2 nights not sure if the elavil caused it and had a lot of the pain i'm trying to get rid of 3rd night......Does anyone know if these meds take a while to begin working ?
