If you only take it in the evening, the effect might have worn off enough during the day so as not to help you. There are rare cases of paradoxical agitation from benzodiazepines, but in that case, it should not help you sleep. Of course... it could be that the Elavil alone is what is helping you to sleep.

I don't know who "they" are who say they cannot do anything else, but I would talk to someone other than "them" ... a different psychiatrist. This all sounds positively horrid. I am so sorry!
