Exclamation Elavil

Hi All! I just had an interesting visit with my PC doc. I have had a very difficult time this summer with heart problems. The heart meds that the cardiologist gave me caused a big increase in pain with some other problems. I had a follow up visit with the doc this afternoon, and we were discussing anti-depression medication that I had been on and WC abruptly quit paying for. The only med that they would cover was Elavil, and at about that time is when my heart problems began. My doc finally zeroed in on that and suggested that this drug may have contributed to this. This is not a listed or known side effect of this drug, but she remembered that she had had a previous patient that this drug had caused the same problem with the heart rate. Tonight is the first time that I stopped taking this drug, so it is going to be a wait and see type of approach. I am just putting this out there in case anyone else may be having the same type of problem. Wishing everyone a pain-free night, Lisa
