Experiences with amitriptyline (the old Elavil)

I have been taking Amitriptyline for over thirty years and it gave me my life back. I have a spinal cord injury and had severe pain, which caused me to have very little sleep. I started on half a pill and slowly worked up. I was then able to have a good night's sleep and my pain was easier to cope with.

That awesome! may I ask what type of pain? I have the old lower back and hip, right side,and also down the back of the right thigh. My main issue is walking more than 50 yards and I have difficult pain. For all that I've gone through ovver the last 5 years but the last 3 months specificaaly, sleep for 90% of that time has been ok. Has there been any specific side effects? I woory about headaches, as I can be prone to them.
