Amitriptyline
"I've been having mixed tension migraines almost daily since a head injury over a year ago. When I started taking amitriptyline I took 12.5 mg every night for a week and increased every week. Now I'm taking 50 mg. In the beginning, I was very groggy every morning, but now it's only an issue if I take it too late or get little sleep. It has also caused vertigo from time to time; it feels like my bedroom is spinning when I'm lying down, but it only happens once in a while. The real problem is that it does prevent my migraines. Though I've been taking it for about six weeks, I frequently wake up with migraines and almost always have one by day's end. I'm hoping to switch to something else at my next neuro appointment."
