Comment:
I was prescribed this about a year ago and my migraines have significantly improved and I feel less tired during the day. There was an adjustment period of about 2 weeks for me where I was extremely tired in the morning, but after that, my body adjusted and I no longer am in a daze. I take 10mg a day at nighttime and it definitely also helps me fall asleep better at night.

Comment:
Amitriptyline did reduce my migraine severity and frequency by quite a bit. Unfortunately, it did not help with my sleep, as I'd hoped. In a year of use, I gained 40 pounds, so I had to taper off and give up on this drug. Did cause dry mouth, but I could have lived with that.
