the medication has helped with my constant headache and has also helped me cope with my stress/anxiety. I'm on a low dose (20mg/day) and take at night. The first week I was out cold within minutes of taking the medication. That affect has worn off, but I continue to sleep well and wake up refreshed.

I'm taking 20mg for constant headaches, problems sleeping, stress and anxiety, as well as chronic pain in my neck and shoulders. First week I had nausea, tiredness. I'm on month 5 now and I won't be stopping any time soon. Works good, almost great for me.

I am 70 years old. I had a very tense chronic pain in my neck and upper back for 11 years. I did all the treatments. Not any results happed to me. My neurologist prescribed Aventyl for me. After using 5 weeks, the miracle happened. No more pain. Of course there’re som side affects, but they go away after a while. Only conctipation and dried mouth remain that I’m working on them. After all no pain anymore.

I had a stroke last october, or what they assume it was. My left eye doesn't move as much as the other one now - constant double vision and daily headaches that just got worse as the day went on. Started with 1 at night for a week, then 2 then 3... now take 5 at night daily. I don't get the sleepiness but the dry mouth.. has helped dramatically with the pain.. not all gone but at least I can now sit with my wife at night to watch TV or do something with her... if it helped 100% would have given 5/5 .. but 4 is darn good compared to what I have to go through every single day...Read More Read Less

This drug should be banned from any use, formula destroyed, as it destroys people and their lives.

Took for depression after weaning off Effexor. No noticeable improvement and definitely had an increased appetite.

I'm on this medication for my severe migraines. Definitely satisfied with how successful this was for me, but I hate how dependent I am on it now to sleep at all through the night. It makes me extremely dizzy and drowsy to the point where it's necessary to take these for me to sleep. Overall good for preventing migraines, but easily becomes a necessity.
