Is the only thing to help my migraines. Cut them from 4-5 times a week to 2-4 a month. But, I can't stop eating. I have trouble losing weight, but no trouble gaining. :(

Suffered from migraines for years, tried many different meds...amitriptyline was the first one to help me. I was on it for about 5 years, had one headache in that time and have been migraine free for almost 10 years.
