Has anyone had any success with Amitriptyline for migraines?
DS has started daily migraines again after almost a year migraine free. He is 17 and A level year. There is a definite stress component. Triptans haven’t worked.
A year ago we saw a paediatric neurologist and he mentioned Amitriptyline can be successful with migraine. DH is a bit wary as it’s an anti depressant but I understand it is given at a much lower dose for migraine than if used to treat depression.
We are day three back into a migraine as soon as he wakes up. It’s a stressful year school wise obviously and we are all panicking a bit that we could end up back where we were for gcse year where he was off school most of the year.
We haven’t been back to the doctor yet but I’m just trying to get some information before I do.
