car accient caused me from baley sleeping and in alot of pain, t11 collapsed wanna know if there something different to use, cause they seem to barley work ## Hi, i've been taking PMS Zopiclone for a couple of years, and suddenly they stopped working. Can any one tell me why that is ?. I would really like to know! ## Hi, the reason they have stopped working is because you have developed a tolerance to them. This happens with many, if not all sleeping meds. You may wish to talk to your doc about going on a higher dosage or perhaps changing to a different medication. I find it helps to take them every other day, or even once every third night to stop your body from getting used to it. Changing to ambien may help or going from one script of ambien for one course then back to zopiclone ...

I found a round yellow pill with 2103 on one side, can you please identify this pill for me? ## I located your round pill to be Amitriptyline HCl (50 mg). NOTE: it is noted to be brown and not yellow in the drug databases; and the full marking reads 2103 V. Amitriptyline is used in the United States and United Kingdom to prevent migraines only in very small doses. It is also used as sleeping aids in small doses of usually 25 mg, and for diabetic retinopathy. For information about this drug, please refer to the link below...

Can i take 200 mg of elavil and 300mg of morphine together ## My findings state that there are some potentially unsafe interactions that apply to these two medications. Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of: "Using Elavil (amitriptyline) together with Morphine may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience some impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doc...

I am currently taking 50mg of Toprol daily to control irregular heartbeats. My orthopedic doctor has prescribed 10mg of Elavil daily for 30 days to help with back pain. Is there any danger that these two drugs might cause an adverse reaction? ## I am also taking 10mg of elavil at nights to help shut my mind down so I can fall asleep. During the day time I take 25 mg of Toprol twice a day. My Dr. has no problem with these 2 drugs being taken together.

How are you feeling? Elavil isn't an analgesic, so it's not something you can take as needed to help with your pain. It is a tricyclic antidepressant, so it can help with some types of pain, but in order to do so, it needs to be taken consistently for several weeks, before it reaches a therapeutic efficacy level in your body. If you need immediate pain relief, then you should contact your doctor to see what would be ...

Today I went to the dr. She switched my Effexor and Buspar to Elavil. I have never taken this medication before. Its 25mg x 2 daily. I'm very interested in this medicine because I have a very hard time gaining weight and I've read blogs on yes it can cause weight gain. I'm also interested in how tired and sleepy it will make me. That's one negative effect I don't want. I'm more interested in energy and good mood lift... Any feedback would be appreciated, thx ## I think all these meds for mood and anxiety cause sleepy and no energy feelings. I've had to take many and all them make you tired and no energy ## I agree with you on this. I just started elavil 25mg before bed..I find myself sleeping later each morning. Which I don't like. Thank god I'm still...

For many years, I have taken 25 mg of amitryptyline, a small green pill. For my last refill, I received a brown pill with the marking I 2. Is this brown pill, possibly by another company, still 25 mg? ## I jus was doing a search for an answer for this exact same question. I am going to take them to the pharmacy and ask if these are, indeed, generic Elavil. It seems I haven't been getting the same effect from these. I was getting a small round green pill before. ## Hello, Patsy and Dannie! How are you both? I'm happy to clear this up for you.

Is 100Mg morphine sulf er, 600 Mg gabapentin 3 aday, 4 dilaudid 4Mg, 1 ambian 10Mg,and 1 elival 50 Mg, aday to much? EVERY DAY ,THANK YOU! ## There is really nothing unusual about these dosages and dosage frequencies for someone who is obviously being treated for chronic pain. The only time it would really be considered too much is if you had suddenly jumped to these dosages, without ever having used them before. Really, the operative questions is, have these all been prescribed by the same doctor, so your usage and dosages are monitored? Morphine ER this is a generic for MS Contin, a time released tablet. Common side effects can include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Gabapentin, the active ingredient in Neurontin is an anticonvulsant also used to treat nerve pain. C...

I got shingles on 2/28. I am on 150mgs Wellbruton, Fentayl 50mg. patch, 1600 mgs. neurotin, 15mgs methodone. Did the valtrex, steroids. Tryed Lyrica, swelling of ankles, super depression. Today G.P. gave me a script for Amitriptyline. I was on Elavil at one point, did no good for depression, does anyone think that this will help with the nerve pain from the shingles. I feel these guys are using me for a test subject. Should the G.P. be giving me mood elevators when I have a shrink that I see weekly? The only thing that seems to be helping is the methadone, that ...

I have fibromyalgia and neurofibromatosis. I am taking Oxycodone and Neurontin. Any suggestions for something else? ## the biggest problem with neurontin is sometimes you will feel AND LOOK like you are drunk. also, they are in the process of changing the class. i believe it will b the same class as your oxycodone. i was put on lyrica some years ago and did not react well to it...i was a blubbering dumb mess. i cried all the time and was dumb as a box of rocks...a 5 yr old was smarter than me. i was diagnosed in 2005 for fibromyalgia, osteo-arthritis, failed lower back surgery and restless leg syndrome. i have been on oxycodone, oxymorphone, elavil (for nerve endings), requip (restless leg), zanaflex (occasional nauseau from oxymorphone), voltaren gel (also contains anti inflammatory fo...

My md wants to stop me from using this med, he claims it is a old drug and they may stop making it. I am 83 years old & have been taking this drug for over 30 years. ## There are drugs that have been on the market far longer. He must just want you to try something different, it is hard to say. ## Today mar. 9th 2011 My pharmacy has advised me they no longer make triavil ## It is an older drug that is quite effective for some. Even if they quit making Triavil in its present formulation which is Perphenazine 2-4MG and amitriptyline 10 -25MG. One dose is 4MG perphenzine 50MG Amitriptyline. You can still get it by having him write two scripts one for Amitryline and one for Perphanize. Brand names are Elavil and Trilafon. They will not quit making these drugs so you will always be able t...
