I’ve been using Elavil for about a month now to help with migraines. Before this, I was getting headaches almost every other day, and they were really affecting my work and mood. Since starting Elavil, the migraines have become way less frequent—maybe once a week now, and not as severe.
It’s been a relief not having to rely so much on painkillers.
question: Is it okay to take Elavil long-term?

I used this drug when gastroenterologist gave it to me for sharp stomach pain. The cause was idiopathic and/or overdetermined by a variety of problems, especially some damage to the hypothalamus. It worked immediately. Stomach pain has gone. Only had about a 2-week supply and stopped with no side effects. This was the drug that solved a serious pain problem.
Yes, it’s often prescribed for long-term use, especially for chronic issues like migraines or nerve pain. But it’s always good to have regular check-ins to make sure it’s still the right fit.
