Traditionally they are used as depression medication for children but I've also seen them used for a sleep aid and for CVS with me. If I understand correctly they basically are telling your brain there isn't anything wrong. That's how it was explained to me as a kid!

First I have this too and have never met another with it! I'm glad you are doing this because this illness is so rare/weird! It sounds like yours is much worse than mine though :( Took them about 2 months of tests and throwing up every morning at 5AM before they got it and now its fully controlled with meds! I do get nauseous way more than is normal and my stomach feels off more often than not but there's no vomit and it isn't unbearable (more uncomfortable). I'm horrified that it took some people so much longer to figure things out! I guess I was INSANELY lucky!

And my question have you ever tried Elavil/Amitriptylin (I do 25mg tablets)? I'm 23 and have been taking that since I was 11, it pretty much "cured" me. I still have to take it everyday for it to work but it's better than the alternative!
