Elavil has shown effects in inducing growth factors in the peripheral nervous system. The other TCAs have not shown this ability. So it would be preferred. But nortriptyline has fewer sedative side effects.
There is an article here on this forum about the new Elavil research. I don't have time to search for it now, since I am leaving in 10 degree weather to go the hospital for my lab work.
