Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant.

That said, while it is sometimes prescribed off-label for headaches, it can also cause them in some people as a side effect.

The drowsiness can also be a side effects, but it could also be due to sleep disruption from the headaches or both.

Have you spoken to your doctor about the problem?
