Sounds to me like anticholinergic side effects from the high dose of Elavil -- I had those same symptoms pretty bad when I tried Elavil at 150mg/day for my fibromyalgia a while back. Do you have bad dry mouth? That's one of many symptoms of too much anticholinergic activity. I believe amitriptyline also posesses antihistamine properties -- that could also be the culprit. Either way, it's surely due to the high dose.
