Who takes Elavil (amitriptyline) for depression, or for other reasons?

Elavil (amitriptyline) helps one to sleep, is extremely inexpensive--as far as meds go, is a tricylic antidepressant, and additionally helps some with pain. It can leave you feeling quite groggy in the morning, though, if you don't take it early enough at night.

Elavil is also only intended for short term use, six weeks or less.
