ELAVIL WITHDRAWAL INFO / TAPERING OFF ELAVIL NATURALLY & SUCCESSFULLY
Succeed with our At-Home Elavil Withdrawal Program
It is possible to break the dependence to Elavil if the withdrawal process is done correctly. The evidence on Elavil, like all tricyclic antidepressants show that even when tapered gradually, 80% of patients exhibited Elavil withdrawal symptoms. [1] So tapering off Elavil alone is not enough. This is why our withdrawal approach implements holistic, proven, nutraceuticals (*high potency food based supplements) to help calm the nervous system while assisting in recovery. Abruptly stopping Elavil can be detrimental to the patient, triggering withdrawals which increase the very symptoms you were seeking to treat. [2]
We have over 17 years of proven success in breaking the dependence to tricyclic medications and we know how to diminish the symptoms safely, without the concern of interactions that may increase withdrawals. Point of Return provides a safe, effective, medically driven protocol that is completed at your home. Dependence to Elavil places extreme demands on your body and nervous system. Point of Return knows how to wean off Elavil and implements slow reduction schedules and specifically designed nutraceuticals to support the body's unique needs during a Amitriptyline taper. Let our experts guide you on the correct taper rates; ways to promote sleep without an interaction with the Elavil; while providing the encouragement you need to be successful.

ELAVIL WITHDRAWAL TIMELINE
Many variables can affect the duration and onset of Elavil withdrawal including other medications; time on the Elavil or previous medications; age; health challenges and the half-life of the drug. Elavil affects Serotonin and Norpinephrine receptors throughout the human body [5] and these chemical messengers can alter mood, pain control, levels of anxiety and sleep. [6] Thus withdrawals also are intensified complaints of the very symptoms that were initially being treated. Missing one dose or reducing a dose by too large an amount can trigger Elavil Withdrawal symptoms within a 12-24 hours. [8] The severity can vary from person to person with the acute phase beginning rapidly after missing a dose of sleeping pill. And while understanding the withdrawal timeline can be important, the timelines can vary significantly. We prefer to place our focus on healing from Elavil. If you want help safely tapering off Elavil, please contact us.*

I am so grateful for Point of Return and for all the support I have received to help me to taper from Zoloft, which I had been on for about 14 years. The almost immediate replies to emails and arrival of orders was humbling and the wonderful support of the POR team was a great help to me throughout the whole process. I found the slow-tapering programme to be both sensible and doable and have learned so much from undertaking the programme. Thank you so much to all at Point of Return. May God bless you!

PROVEN RESULTS
Elavil blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central and peripheral nervous system, and it's this action that contributes to the numerous side effects, including weight gain, changes in appetite, nausea, constipation, nervousness, muscle stiffness, blurred vision and urinary retention. Elavil should not be abruptly or rapidly discontinued due to the potential of severe Amitriptyline withdrawal symptoms. It is recommended to do a slow Elavil taper to minimize withdrawal symptoms.
Amitriptyline (Elavil) is the most widely used Tricyclic Antidepressant prescribed to treat depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, insomnia, neuropathic pain and migraines.
Elavil (Amitriptyline) is often used off-label for migraine prevention, yet a study in San Diego showed melatonin was more effective for migraine prevention than Amitriptyline.
Elavil (Amitriptyline) was developed by Merck and initially synthesized in 1960 and approved by the FDA in 1961. Elavil is on the World Health Organization's (WHO) list of most important medications needed in a basic health system.
Elavil (Amitriptyline) also exerts minimal action on Serotonin but significantly on Norepinephrine and these two neurotransmitters also affect the adrenal 'flight-or-fight' system, dream sleep, mood, memory and cardiovascular function.
Elavil (Amitriptyline)
side effects may include seizures, urinary retention and a number of heart issues. In the United States and Australia, Amitriptyline is listed as a pregnancy category C drug, meaning it may cause problems during pregnancy. Elavil (Amitriptyline)
is known to interact with MAO Inhibitors and SSRIs, risking Serotonin Syndrome.
In June 2011, researchers at the University of East Anglia, Norich, United Kingdom, investigated the anticholinergic burden (ACB) meaning the blocking of acetylcholine, and listed the results. They found that Amitriptyline rated a three, meaning severe due to the reduction in cognitive abilities, adverse side effects and increase in mortality risk.*

ELAVIL BOXED WARNINGS: per PDR
Children, suicidal ideation
The safety and efficacy of Amitriptyline for the treatment of depression have not been established in children less than 12 years of age. In October 2004, the FDA directed manufacturers of all antidepressants to include a boxed warning detailing the risk of suicide in pediatric patients, including children and adolescents less than 18 years of age, as well as young adults. A causal role has been established for antidepressants in inducing suicidality in pediatric patients. The risk of suicidality for these drugs was identified in a pooled analysis of 24 placebo-controlled trials (n = 4400) lasting up to 16 weeks in pediatric patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), or other psychiatric disorders. The analysis showed a greater risk of suicidality during the first few months of treatment in those receiving antidepressants (SSRIs and others). The average risk of such events on drug was 4% and 2% for placebo; however, no suicides occurred in these trials. Pooled analysis of short-term clinical trials during early phase treatment with SSRIs and other antidepressants in young adults (18 to 24 years) also showed an increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior. The clinical need for an antidepressant in children or young adults for any use must be weighed against the risk of increased suicidality; patients who are started on therapy should be observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior, particularly within the first few months of starting therapy or at the time of dose increase or decrease; such observation would generally include at least weekly face-to-face contact with patients during the first 4 weeks of treatment, then every other week visits for the next 4 weeks, then at 12 weeks, and as clinically indicated beyond 12 weeks; additional contact by telephone may be appropriate between visits. It is unknown if the suicidality risk in children and young adults extends to longer-term therapy (i.e., beyond several months). The possibility of a suicide attempt is inherent in patients with depressive symptoms, whether these occur in primary depression or in association with another primary psychiatric disorder. All patients with a history of suicidal ideation or behaviors and those with a prominence of suicidal ideation prior to treatment are considered at an increased risk for suicidal ideation or attempts, and should be closely monitored during treatment with amitriptyline. In patients who exhibit changes in symptoms, worsening of depression or suicidality, a decision should be made to change or discontinue treatment. If discontinuing, medication should be tapered as rapidly as possible, but with recognition that abrupt discontinuation can also cause adverse symptoms. Antidepressants should be prescribed in the smallest quantity consistent with good patient management in order to reduce the risk of overdose.*
