I wanted to get up at noon today, but my mom decided to wake me up by ringing the doorbell REPEATEDLY at 1030am. I went upstairs, found out that she was just playing with the doorbell (my mom acts like a kid sometimes...I want to smack the drunk driver that hit my mom when she was 17 that caused her head injury)

So I went back downstairs to bed and reset the alarm to wake me at 1pm.

I'm noticing one side effect of the amitriptyline that I am going to miss. The antihistamine properties! I'm sneezing my nose off today. I swear, that was the best antihistamine ever, except for all the nasty side effects.

Sorry about your mom's accident. That's terrible :(

I didn't know it was an antihistamine or had properties! :eek: I've been sneezing non stop since I stopped it. LOL!

I figured it was the Clonazepam, since that can be a side effect of the drug. :p

Honestly, I think it's the Copaxone ( in my case, at least) that causes hair loss. I haven't been on Elavil, although I had it prescribed, I never took it. I'm pretty sure Copaxone can cause your hormones to go out of whack. I think it's only mentioned to happen in a small amount of patients, but after reading on several other MS boards and sites, I believe it's more likely to happen than Teva is reporting.
