A member asked:
I have a taken for 8 days elevil. 25 mg, for nerve pain. however, i do not feel like myself & not as happy as i was. how should i wean myself off of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Elavil would not be my choice to manage "nerve pain" in an 83 y.o. due to intense anticholinergic adverse side effects. Does NOT appear you are tolerating even the minimal dose. Contact your physician and switch to a more appropriate medication.
