    Amitripytline for migraines and side effects?

    Just been put on 10mg to help with my migraines and headaches.
    Anyone else got any experience for this,
    And how long do the side effects last, 2 days in and feel very groggy and tired, also a few hot flushes. Thanks.

    The side-effects will likely diminish fairly quickly as 10mg is a small dose. The usual starting dose for anxiety and depression is 75mg. Amitriptyline is a fairly potent antihistamine which is why you're feeling groggy and tired. Be extra cautious driving, or doing any potentially hazardous activity when you're sedated.

    Thanks, yesterday I didn’t feel to bad. Today I’ve woke with a migraine and feel groggy.
    I’m going to give them a couple of months and monitor it.
