"i have been on elavil for 7 months now. i take 20mg every night for severe pain in my shoulders, arms and neck and also for depression. it&#039;s the best thing i have taken and i have tried loads of medicine but none have worked. i also couldnt sleep, but now i don&#039;t have pain. i am a lot calmer and i have never slept as good. i haven&#039;t put weight on either. it&#039;s the best tablet that i have been on."
