Hi Mark, I was in an accident eight month ago and had a lot of the head pressure type headaches and tension headaches. I am now taking 20 mg. of amitriptyline (Elavil) and it is helping a lot. It is an antidepressant that can be used for pain in low doses and also helps with sleep and anxiety. It took about three weeks to help my headaches. I have to stay away from caffeine (I try - love coffee) and do not drink any alcohol. You need to drink a lot of fluids and eat a healthful diet and you might want to add some Omega 3 fish oil. Get lots of rest and don't stress your brain.

I need to add that I also don't like to take meds. and have never taken any antidepressants before, but it seems to be the only thing working for me so far.
