I so missed something, but my mother has Elavil

perscribed as a sleep aid and muscle relaxer...it

works well...

Does it contain B6 or something?

Also...Elavil is very dangerous to take if not

perscribed to you...the doses have to be controled a

bit (although it isn't as controled a substance as her

Perkasets, Darvasets ect!!! my poor mom...back trouble

is no fun) but the docs are worried about how deeply

she is addicted to them. So yeah...don't take them

just cause they have B6 in them...seriously...they are

anti-depressant sleep aids.
