dawny have you been prescribed amitriptlyne at any point?
Couple of years ago i suffered with headaches every day (turned out to be medication over use from taking too many painkillers for headaches) i also used to get migraines every week that would last 2-3 days, specialist told me to stop painkillers altogether – after a few months my daily headaches started to go away, i took amitriptlyne every day for a year to keep migraines away and although i still got the odd one, on the whole it worked for me. After a year they wouldnt let me have any more as its probably addictive, but touch wood, i only get migraines occassionally now. Tried everything else, the melts that are supposed to be one of the best new drugs invented for migraines that work really fast – they did nothing for me, but this did. Give it a shot.
