Can Pamelor be as effective as Elavil when used for chronic pain

I have a pelvic floor muscle spasm problem and had tried Elavil; I could not tolerate the side effects even at only 10mg. My Dr suggested Pamelor and so far no side effects--I have taken it for a week now at a 10mg dose. Wondering if Pamelor is as effective as Elavil for chronic pain and how long does it usually take to notice any difference?
