Hatmaker,my mistake.I know Elavil is a tricyclic,I thought it was in the MAOI category.Regardless,Im not taking it.I have tried Pristiq and Wellbutrin (several times) thinking they would help me to not use.Pristiq was a nightmare coming off of and Wellbutrin made my hair fall out,ears ring loudly and it just plain didnt work.It made me compulse over certain things.I told this Dr that and she said there will come a time when I will have to go back on it.I said "why would I have to take a med that didnt help me?" again I was told to not question it.This quack is a neurologist.She has bad reviews and her office is in her house,its also a mess.I felt like I was going into a crack house.No joke.Slim pickin here in NJ for Drs that take insurance.Im banking on the new guy.I took 6 this morning and I will take the other 2 in the afternoon or more.I just dont know.I guess it takes a while tinkering to establish the right dose.I dont have cravings but I feel withdrawal creeping back in later in the day.I also went to NA last night.I really liked the group.I dont know if its for me and I am considered to them "not clean"…I think.I may go again and see if i think it will help.Its just so cookie cutter and I would like to be in a group where you can comment and speak freely.Its kinda robotic.
