Elavil is very sedative. Worked great for sleep didn't it? ;) You have to be on it for a couple of weeks at least before the daytime sedation starts to diminish (it will to some extent). One tip to help reduce the next day "hangover" is to take it about 2-3 hrs before you intend to go to sleep. When it starts kicking in this might be kind of hard to do :), but it helps some for it to not kickin in the middle of your sleep. Hopefully the sedation will diminish enough to where you can tolerate it OK.
