I don't take anything for my headaches as I see them as a signal that I'm not well yet - I generally don't like taking medication, and think that if I took something I would be interrupting that signal and could make things worse by doing too much (although I've been pushing through headaches, so I guess I don't really stick to that rule). Should headaches be seen this way? As a signal that I'm doing too much? Or are they just a necessary part of my life right now that don't necessarily mean anything? Or somewhere inbetween?

I've been spending more and more time with the smartphone, but for about 3 weeks after the fall I used it sparingly if at all.

I have a friend who has taken amitryptiline for sleep and headache reduction. My sleep has improved since getting off klonopin, but it's still not great - I have nights where I wake up at 1:30 and have trouble getting back to sleep, despite keeping pretty good sleep hygeine. I think it's just because my body is used to being tired from strenuous exercise everyday, and I've cut that out.

My doctor has also suggestion amitryptiline - any thoughts on this? I know some medications disrupt deep sleep and rem sleep, both of which are crucial, so I'm hesitant to get on something like that.
