    I have been taking this for 25 years for migraine prevention, abdominal migraines to be specific. After a battery of test I was so glad my doctor tried this medicine. I have been symptom free unless I am severely stressed. I have had no "long term issues" others are stating.

A new doctor wanted to try preventative measures and prescribed Amitriptyline, since then, 3 years later, I have not had a migraine and I've only had to increase my dosage one time. The only side effect that has bothered ... Show Full Comment
