[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 426930, member: 2423"] I myself have been on Amitripltyline (generic for Elavil) for 5 years. I don't have bipolar disorder. I take it for sleep, migraines, irritable bowel syndrome and stress. For a tiny pill, it hits all of my symptoms amazingly well. My son, who has a Mood Disorder-not otherwise specified diagnosis, took Amitriptyline for a short time for sleep. We have no idea whether it dysregulated him because it was soon after his manic reaction to Zoloft and his symptoms had not yet been brought under control. Most of the research in The Bipolar Child book is outdated. If you want up-to-date medication protocols, you should look on the Child and Adolescent Bipolar Foundation website at [url]http://www.thebalancedmind.org[/url] or look into research being conducted at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Bethesda, Maryland. If you can't locate this information, just let me know and I'll point you in the right direction. If you are going to give this medication a trial, I agree with starting low and going slow. [/QUOTE]
