Is Elavil one of those drugs that you have to "wean" off?
Can you skip a dose?

I was on this for the pass years I mean 4 or 5 n decided to come off cause I wanna go on something Else I thought I'd have to
wean off. My doctor told me every other day for a week skip a does n then ur fine. N he was right. But it depends on mg too. So yes u can miss a dose. But I would say only 1

It's worth taking for me just to get some sleep.

my issue is, I don't / won't be on a drug that I'm required to take everyday or risk dangerous side effects or worse. I would like to find something I could take when needed not daily. I'm stubborn that way and my doctor keep prescribing drugs I don't want to be on! I don't need to be drugged up everyday. I won't be and I guess I'll suffer instead. Trading pain for dependence on dangerous meds isn't an option
