It has been mostly good. I was diagnosed with RLS and CFS, Chronic Fatigue. It has removed most of my aches and tiredness. I have to devote 10+ hrs to sleep a night though. It has limited my sexual drive, where it is almost non existent. A small price to pay for my overall well being and more energy.

I've never heard of that being a side effect. I would consult your doctor.

My sun has suffered from three years of age with stomach pain and discomfort uppon eating he is now 12 years old. We have seen many doctors all of whom are very vague. His blood work consistantly comes back with low amylase and lipase. Yet they dont see any need for further investigation. I have been told he has a sensitive stomach. As a mother I see more. I live with him and see him every day. He eats very little, (i think it still hurts) he says he's not in pain anymore. At nine he was still thr...

I took 25 mg of Elavil for about a week for insomnia and chronic pain. It did nothing to help me sleeper relieve the pain and I started getting a horrible taste in my mouth, like spoiled food. It also made my reflux worse which I had under control with Nexium. I had to stop taking it because the horrible taste in my mouth was keeping me awake.
