I used to fall but not anymore. I have broken my nose, got2 black eyes from it, broke a knuckle, tore a ligament in my foot, hit my hip and was x-rayed at two different hospitals and both found 'something' on my hip but did not know what it was. Before these falls, I used to pass out when I would get up. I used to take Elavil and the doctor said that that med and another med I was taking didn't like each other. When I would get up my blood pressure would go down to 90/60 and I would faint. Don't take it any more. Barb
