Tengboche, what has the Elavil ( Amitriptyline ) done to improve your sleeping? I use the gabapentin for improvements in my sleep. That reminds me, time to go take my dose prior to bed time.

I have tried many many different medications to help me sleep (prior concussion had about 9 months of scattered sleep). Various medications would help (mixture of anti anxieties, sleep inducers etc) and then after 2 weeks be back to sleeping 2-3 hours a night.

At 30mg of Elavil in the pm I can get a decent night sleep, and now with gabapentin 3xday it feels even better. It isn't often restorative but it helps which makes dealing with the other issues such as headaches, concentration etc easier to handle.

I just have to remember to take the medications!
