I'm stopping Elavil and am EXTREMELY fatigued, any suggestions to counteract!
Question: I'm stopping Elavil and am EXTREMELY fatigued, any suggestions to counteract this symptom!?
I have been taking Elavil for quite some time to help with the depression and anxiety that comes with Fibromyalgia!. I was recently prescribed a 12 mcg fentanyl patch, and am doing rather well with the pain aspect!. I am weinig myself off of Elavil!. I was taking it to help with coping with the pain!. Now that the pain is under control, I feel like I no longer need it!. I've actually been doing rather well, and am down from 50mgs to 12!.5mgs!. BUT, the fatigue is horrible! I have a 5 year old who is in school all day, but I also have a 3 year old that demands lots of attention!. Why does this last little bit seem to be affecting me so much!? I have no other withdrawal symptoms!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
