amitriptyline aka elavil

Just wanted to ask if anyone has taken this medication for depression and how long does it take to take affect.  Is this medication an immediate mood elevator, or like most depression meds, only works after taking it for so long?  Thank you to anyone that answers!!

Hello there,

Just like the SNRIs or SSRIs the Tricyclic antidepressants like amitriptyline can take up to several weeks to take effects. If you see no improvement at all after 6 weeks i believe it would be a good idea to go back to your doctor.

Best regards,
