To my extreme distress my Elavil wasn't in the bag. What were my legs going to be like without this? I couldn't imagine the burning. But I also take Clonazipine. I take 1 1/2 pills. So last night knowing I wouldn't have one for tonight I took only 1 Elavil and an extra 1/2 Clonazepine and I would do the same tonight. I slept so much better! Don't know what the difference was. Maybe I slept better because of the extra Clonazepine.

Ugh, I can't stand how often we have to jump through stupid hoops for medicines. It's called automatic, they should call your doc for a refill when you need one.

I'm sorry they have you out of Elavil and hope they have it refilled soon. I'm glad you slept better though. Maybe you need to see about upping you Clonazepine for every night.
