I am currently weaning off nortriptyline, which I think is kind of like elavil. I was taking 10mg each night, but reduced that to every other night for the past four weeks. This month I am going down to 10mg every third night. My doctor has me on a very slow taper, just to make sure things go smoothly.
I hope you're able to get some sleep. I've been struggling with insomnia for the past year, but I feel like it might finally be getting a little bit better (knocking on wood!).

I will admit to very little physical activity since my setback. I just started up in the last few days with some mild exercise prescribed by my PT. I do seem to feel slightly better if I can get moving. I was not expecting a setback to knock me off my feet for 4+ weeks and counting. There are signs of significant improvement already, insomnia and convergence insufficiency being my more problematic symptoms likely.
