I am luking here, awaiting
MS diagnosis after brain MRI. I am on Amitryptyline, which is the generic name
for Elavil by the way). I was prescribed it by my pain management doctor as a sleep aid. I have been on it for 2 years, with a few breaks where I had narcotics due to multiple surgeries. I have not heard of it being for pain, but I am getting as a sleep aid because my pain keeps me awake. So, in a way I guess it could help, but depending on dosage, will make you VERY sleepy.
