Hi Barb,

I took Elavil many years ago for sleep/depression issues. I was on it for about 7 months. I was not on a high dose - -wish I could remember what it was. Maybe 10 or 20 mg.? Don't be surprised if it makes you severely constipated so you may want to start doing fiber. I also gained 20 lbs. on it which I lost when I went off it and started exercising. Anyhow, good luck. I'm sorry you are feeling so cruddy these days and I hope you feel better soon.
