Hello Jess 18,

I had very good results with Elavil by itself. Then I built up tolerance and went on to other things (mostly Neurontin). The Drs. don't want me to go back on Elavil because of my age and my heart. But in your case it is probably allright.

It is true that you should not take an SSRI with a Tricyclic because of possible serontin overload, EXCEPT under a dr's. direction. So if it is working for you, fine. But you should not worry, but to be alert for possible side effects. Check out what the efffects of serotonin overload on the Internet.

Hope this helps, Take Care
