I also had horrible blurred vision. I went off of it because of that, but
my vision had changed so much my eye doctor couldn't believe it. And the
dry mouth was miserable. Rather deal with the bladder problems than
Ditropan.

Regina,
OMG.........I didn't realize that Amytriptilene was actually Elavil.
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.

Hi Jill,
I took it years ago for depression and OMG, it was awful!
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.
