I have Fibromyalgia and the doctor just started me on Elavil 25mg. So far it seems to be working well. I have even noticed a slight increase in energy during the day.

This medicine was prescribed for insomnia to replace my Ambien. I didn't expect it to work but, from night one I started getting a natural quality sleep with no side effects.
