Hi Nancy,

I'm on Amitriptyline/Elavil for sleep, headaches, and pain management. The neuro started me on 10mg every night, but now after 7 months, I'm up to 40mg. It's still a very low dose, and they said I could go up to 150mg and it would still be low.

I have very vivid/stressful dreams every night, and some nights I still don't sleep. I guess different things work for different people. The Amitriptyline really does help me sleep most nights, but some nights, nothing works.

Maybe ask her doc about a low dose of it? Some people are opposed to it, I think, but it has worked for me most of the time.

Keep me posted, good luck.
