most seem to have missed the deal here - you're on PAMELOR....NOT... Elavil, correct?
like i said, you'll likely gain some weight, but thought you said you could use it. PLUS it'll not be anywhere close to as much weight as IF you were taking elavil. likely some constipation, again not as much as w/ elavil - sounds like a fair trade-off for you that should be able to me managed with sfs, etc.
biggest point - these type drugs almost always take up to 3 wks to work. anyone who wants to succeed on them must develop the patience to stick that out. the 'off' feeling you're having is probably a very typical start-up effect known as depersonalization. it will keep subsiding, as you get further along. so will the sedation.
i encourage you give this a fair trial because it could well end up making you feel simply marvelous! (altho there are no guarantees that any ad will be the right one for any given person.)
