Hello Sigismund,
I have been on Elavil for 35 years.
This drug has bad side effects, but I shall have to live with that.I have tested Remeron for six months, but now I have returned to Elavil.
Here's how I perceived the difference between Elavil and Remeron.
Remeron is a modern medicine, while Elavil is a "dirty drug" from 1958.
The big problem with Remeron is that most people put on weight.
However, I could handle that.But I slept better on Elavil.
This drug improves the quality of my sleep.Elavil also has good sedative effects.
I am able to work efficient when I have had a good night's sleep.I have tried almost everything, but I think that Elavil is one of the best medicines for depressed and anxious people.
My current combo is Elavil (50 mg in the evening) and Buspar (20 mg + 20 mg in the daytime).
Best of Luck,
X-ray
