Headache is a mass disease. At one time or the other, you must have gone
through the ordeal of it. Many a times, it is a passing feature! It
doesn't require any treatment at all. It comes, takes its time, tests and
bothers you to the extent it can and departs away! All that you need is to
have patience and understanding them!
This much about the normal headaches! The
real problem starts when it becomes chronic. The severe pain will drive
out all understanding and patience within you and you feel that you must
have instant relief, otherwise the head will break!
Scientists and researchers all over the world are worried about such
headaches and are trying out various combinations to combat this. They
have come out with several products depending upon the nature of
headaches and Elavil is one of them!
Elavil, in the first instance was prescribed to treat
bulimia (an eating disorder). Subsequently it was used to control
chronic pain and to prevent migraine headache.
Does Elavil cure the headache directly? Perhaps it is not its direct
function; it is only a responsive action! It is a member of the group of
drugs called tricyclic anti-depresasants. Doctors prescribe Elavil to
treat a pathological weeping and laughing syndrome associated with
multiple sclerosis.
Utmost care is to be taken about taking the doses as
prescribed by your physician! Go strictly by the quantum of the dose,
and do not skip doses. Even if you feel like not taking the dose, due to
depression or any other factors do not skip the dose. If you miss a dose
for any reason, do not take two doses the next day, to make up for the
shortfall.
