I started taking Elavil right after I was diagnosed with IBS in Feb. I take 10 mg at night. It does make me sleepy, so I was taking it late at night, right before I went to bed. My attacks come around 10pm, and the frequency did decrease, but I found that if I took it earlier (8pm), it did decrease the severity of attacks too. I follow the diet strictly, and do not touch trigger foods.
I know what you mean about sleep meds - I tried Ambien one time. I took it in the evening. I woke up at 3am, completely dressed, laying across my bed with the lights all on! I have no idea how I got there, the last thing I remember is watching TV that evening. I felt like I had gone on a bender and was suffering the hangover all the next day! That was scary! Needless to say, I never took Ambien again.
Take care!
