I have been taking 10mg of amytrip each night for a persistant headache. Took it for 2 months and my headache totally disappeared! Great - however, I found getting up in the morning really difficult even though I took the pills early evening. I was groggy, irritable, depressed, bad tempered and even had thoughts of self harm!! So I have had to stop taking the pills, I feel much more back to my normal self but sadly the headache returned straight away! I have now been given Pizotifen to try but this can cause weight gain - I am already overweight and can't afford to put more on. Anyone tried anything not involving meds? I don't want pills forever but neither do I want this headache that I have had constantly for 8 months!

i have been on 10 mg tablets for about a week now and am so tired and nervous.
They were given to me for pain for my neuropathy. The doctor says it will take a few weeks or longer to help the pain. I hate feeling tired and my legs are so weak.....there must be a better way to deal with this neuropathy. I would mention, though that for help with sleeping, Chamomile tea works great.

I've been prescribed Amitriptyline for 6 weeks for pain behind nose and headaches on one side of my head. Neurologist ruled out sinus infection due to previous doctor report so suggested migraines to be the cause. I am 10 days in on 20mg and feel lethargic all day, drowsy upon waking, lazy and slow, dry mouth, heavy legs, sleep for 10 hrs a night. I feel agitated and grumpy most of the time and was a lot happier before I started taking them. By day 9 subtle headaches started, but today its extremely bad like a migraine all over with nausea, I think its the tabs as I have never suffered like this with migraines in my life. I am going to stop as the side effects are not worth it as I need more focus for my job and studies.

I too have Neuropathy, but my Neurologist suggested I take R-Alpha Lipoic Acid,
which you can find at health food stores. Also try Neuropathjy Support formula which
you can get online. These do take a few months to work. I've only been on this for a few months now, but I am feeling better. It's worth a try and their is a money back guarantee. Good Luck.

I've been on Amy trip for neuralgia (chronic unexplained burning in hips, back, thighs and buttocks) which started after knee surgery. I find it's helping somewhat but have only been on for 6 days, 10 mg @ hs. My issue is that it makes me drowsy, but then at about 3 a.m I'm wide awake and it takes me over an hour or so to fall back to sleep. Then I have trouble waking up before 9 a.m. Anyone else have this issue?

Someone please help! I switched psychiatrists - am already on antidepressants and a large amount of xanax. Only problem is I don't go to sleep til about 4 or 5 in the morning. Just because I'm not awake during the day, my new psychiatrist first tried trazadone which I didn't like & now amitriptyline 25mg. I haven't taken it yet...once I saw the side effects of weight gain& constipation, that was bad enough. Now I see all these other problems, with headaches & being groggy. I know xanax is addictive but isn't it better to take a few more xanax, which I already know doesn't have side effects than start another med with side effects and that is hard to get off?
If you don't agree with the xanax part that's fine. If I sleep 8 hours but it just happens to be early morning to noon instead of at night, why is that such a problem? Thank you anyone who can help me at all. I was all ready to take it tonight but there's no way I am. Then doctors get mad because I don't listen to them....I'm on enough meds. I don't want more.
