I have been completely off Elavil now for quite a few weeks now. This was a difficult drug to get off and I don't know quite how I feel now. I can say that my muscle stiffness has returned, I grit my teeth more just like before, headaches are not all the time like before, but they progressively get worse by the end of the day and then I either tough it out or take 2 ibuprofen.
I'm not sure where I will go from here. I don't want to go back on Elavil since it makes you gain weight and also it's difficult to ween off. I'm not sure if anything else will work for me.
I'm pretty frustrated. Elavil makes me feel great, but I want to eat everything in sight and I don't think I have to tell ya that sometime that's gonna catch up with me!
