Elavil for how long?


I am on elavil for my anxiety and it works well, how long can I take it for?

Elavil has been around for many decades and is a great medication for many mental health disorders. It is a good sleeping pill, antidepressant and works well for certain pain syndromes. Adverse effects include mouth dryness, constipation and slight weight gain. If you are tolerating it and have no problems, you can remain on it for as long you like. However, you should get the basic blood work and ECG on a regular basis. It also causes weight gain, so do exercise regularly.
