Nortriptyline and amitriptyline are both only to help with head aches and sleep. They are not effective with any other symptoms. Quiet rest is what the brain needs. A low stimulation environment with no extra physical exertion is best. The Vitamins sticky at the top my list brain support regimen. Nothing has an immediate effect. It just takes time a discipline to keep stress low to see recovery. It may take 2 weeks of a new behavior/therapy before any worthwhile results are seen. Trying to track day to day is a losing game.
