I'm 14 and i have been taking this medication (25 mg every evening) for a little over a year now. I have been taking it to help with migraines, ice pick migraines. I have to say it is very suprising to hear all of these side effects. I haven't had one. It has completely rid me of all headaches without weight gain or keeping me drowsy all day. A positive addition to my headaches gone it has helped me sleep somewhat sounder throught the night.

hi my daughter is 15 with sometimes terrible headaches and not enough sleep.she gets very aggetate.her docter just recently subscribed this medicine to her but i haven't had it filled yet.(amitriptyline 25mg) i have read all of your concerns and side effects and am very concern about giving this to her.
she does not have migraines her doctor said just more like stress, and edgy headaches.but she does not get any sleep and over the counter meds are barely helping.so can anyone give me some feed back.

I have been on 10 mg. Amitriptyline for almost 2 years for headaches. I've gained 28 pounds and counting. I just can't loose the extra weight while on the medication. I've tryed everything from Weight Watchers to Adkins without success. Has anyone else had simular problems with low doses?

My daughter takes this for her headaches as well, but for the first time she took it without properly eating beforehand. She has been vomiting all day and has had very painful stomach cramps. When taked with food, she has no issues and is helped a great deal from this medication.
