I suffer with migraines, they wipe me out for 24hrs at least.
I have managed them ok over a few years but now I have DD I cannot just sleep them of. So I visited my GP who has perscribed amitriptyline to take daily. After reading the information leaflet I have doubts over taking them, they are normally perscribed for depression or adolescent bed wetting!
Also it states on the information that taking for longer than 3 months is not advised, I really don't want to be back to square one in 3 months time.
Has anyone else been prescribed them for the same reason? Or taking them for another reason and had bad side affects?
I have been taking them for three days but tbh I am slightly concerned.
