| Add Elavil review I have taken Elavil for many years, like about 20 years. I started out with a 10 mg dose and moved up slowly to 50 mg. It was prescribed for me to help me sleep through severe arthritic pain. I have taken the 50 mg dose for 3-4 years now and I will stay at that dosage. I do have problems with nightmares and I am wondering if increasing my dosage would help with that. I intend to ask my Dr. The ... Lot more pain all over especially my limbs I am stopping this medicine today. I do not fall a sleep till the middle of the night and that is what it was given to me for, sleep issues. I get headaches and have no energy all day! Since I was better off before I took it, I will no longer take this drug. I am disabled and was prescribed soma for muscle spasms. I take elavil at night for sleep, pain. NOW IM STARTING TO HAVE BLACKOUTS. I DO NOT SUGGEST MIXING SOMAS AND ELAVIL. I got up early one Saturday morning to go to walmart and wrecked my truck (totaled it). So I stopped taking the somas. Lucky to be alive. I don't know if it has a side effect of losing memory. I don't know if this is causing memory lose | Add Remeron review This medicine works very well for me, and does not have the negative sexual side effects of the SSRI's I'm in the last stages of COPD. I have been taking every med for Depression & with out any luck.I've been taking Remeron 15 MG for the past week & I couldn't feel any better. Has changed my mom, she seems to be in lala land, without a care in the world. This bothers me because she is usually talkative and more alert. Since taking this drug she seems too not care about anything. I use this drug as a combo with Paxil to combat anxiety and depression. It works well and I love the appetite stimulant! It helps me rest and I am definitely satisfied. The drug Remeron itself works great. I noticed slight itchy torso with a 15 mg dose, when I was directed to take 30 mg day, I have major itching in my torso and then spread from there. I was told to just stop taking it cold turkey. | |||
