Parnate/Elavil or Nortriptyline? FATIGUE! SLS?

Posted by ColoradoSnowflake on July 12, 2009, at 19:56:10

Hi- I'm still on 50mg Parnate, 200mg Provigil and 12 1/2mg Elavil. The Provigil helps with the fatigue but not nearly enough. I am just too tired to show up for life. My pdoc isn't back until Sept 1st. I wont make any major changes until I talk to him, but I want to be READY! Do you know if one can change from Elavil to Nortriptyline easily, or is it a big deal tapering down and drug cleanse and tapering up? Also, what side effects does Pamelor have? do you think it would help me sleep ? or I'd have insomnia and have to add some kind of sleep augmentation? 12mg of Elavil seems like a small amount to give me such fatigue! The Parnate itself must be giving me a lot of fatigue. I suppose I could take more Provigil, but it's so expensive I may not be able to take it at all unless I can find a cheaper way to get it.(Any ideas on that score?) That aside, what do you think? I was SO hoping the Parnate would work. Fatigue has always been my most awful symptom. Any ideas, Scott? or anyone else with this experience? I would VERY MUCH appreciate information!!
Thanks!!! Gayle
