You will find the various dosages of various prescriptions there. Meanwhile, you can also try cutting the 10mg in half and only taking half. I will have to say that some meds can take 3-6 weeks for the body to adjust to them, so 3 days probably is not long enough on this one. Discuss this with your doctor. -------------------- Senior female, IBS-D, presently stable thanks to Heather & Staff Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Elavil       #352311 - 11/17/09 08:52 AM Edit Reply Quote Janey Reged: 10/25/03 Posts: 1716 Loc: Maryland I don't think it comes in a 5mg tab but you can research and find out. It took me a couple of weeks to get to the point where I wasn't dragging during the day or had a difficult time getting up in the morning. When I first starting taking Elavil I would go to bed early so that I was sure to get at least 8 hours of sleep. With any new medication it does take a while to get into your system and start working. I have heard that you should give a new med 30 to 90 days to see if will work. I have found through experience that some times you know sooner if it is working or not. Good luck! -------------------- Janey Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
