Hiya, a friend of mine uses Amitriptylin.. but she uses it as an anti depressant & basically as an aid to help her sleep, which has been great. Strangely enough she also suffers from Migraines, but unfortunatley that hasn't helped in getting rid of those!
Good Luck :-)

It is used as an anti depressant, but from what i've seen is given mainly to rid pain to aid in sleep, or given for just a sleep aid. Sunshine and Daisies, ~Cass "There is no exquisite beauty without some strangeness in the proportion" -Edgar Allen Poe
