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.

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.

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 husband is taking 100mg. for( neuropathy) that is the diagnosis he was given. I'm not quite sure it's correct and i noticed that he seems to be very tired after taking this medication- he takes it at 6:00pm
He is also taking neurotin and other medication which supposedly does not interfere with the amitriptyline. he seems very low key, which isn't really his personality. thank you

I most notice grogginess in the AM if I don't take the PM dose early enough (need to take around 5:00). Also, I tend to feel cold much more often (usually I'm hot). I experienced weight gain as well, but I'm not sure I can attribute that to this medication... :-(

I have recently been prescribed this medication for severe migrain headaches. 25mg per night. I am concerned about taking this medication because it is an anti-depressent. I'm afraid of it affecting my personality. Has anybody noticed this? I tried to start it at night about a week ago, and didn't take another because I was so groggy and tired all day the next day. Does this side effect subside over time?
