Antidepressant doses start around 100mg or more a day.
The peripheral neuropathy --diabetic neuropathy doses are 10-25mg at night, as a rule. Some doctors go to 50, but that is
still low for Elavil.
In the old days I recall doses of this (long before SSRIs came out) up to 450mg a day! TCAs were the only antidepressants for decades!

I am going to try it once I am off neurontin. I am only going to take 10mg for the first five days, and then slowly increase it up to 30 mg if I can tolerate it. And I am taking it at night.
