Taking new meds is always scary at first for me too! There is no reason to be scared of this med, so dont worry!
Im on it too! The first few months it did put me out like a light at night, but now I think im more used to it, so it takes a while longer but it still works. As for the feeling sleepy, it should wear off as you get used to it.Im not sure about the hair, if you cant think what else it could be then maybe it is the meds. I have dry hair from dying it too much, try some conditioning treatments they work well. Hair suppliments also work well.
Good luck!
> I told my doctor about my sleeping woes and she gave me something new to try. It's Elavil. I'm supposed to take it at 8pm, but last night I was out with my daughter so was afraid to take it till I got home, about 11. I had a hard time getting going this morning and just started feeling alive around noon. I'm sort of afraid of this medicine. Anybody know something about it?
