I've been on elavil over 10 yrs..it's was helping the depression and intensity of the migraine headache

It sounds like a migraine and what has worked for myself was just getting enough rest and staying in the dark and drinking enough water and being as quiet as possible. I hope this helps and hope you feel better

I've been on amitriptyline for three and a half years. It has helped greatly. I thought I had overlapping sinus related headaches but I am reading now that there is the trigeminal nerve that runs throughout the facial areas that is related to migraines. I now believe that I have been having break-through migraines. I recently reduced my dose from 10 mg to 5 mg. I am going to ask to go back to 10 mg. The dry-mouth and constipation are pretty well managed by diet and exercise.

Thx

Been on Amitriptyline 10mg daily for 2 weeks, it has helped with my vertigo and improved my balance. It does give me dry mouth and a headache, sometimes my migraine with auras break through it which is no fun. The only other disadvantage is it has made my double vision and it has made my floaters worse. I am going to continue taking it and hope these are just side effects and they will improve since I am new to this. I am also on Zonisamide 200mg daily.
