Default Amitriptyline/elavil

As I noted in another post, I have been experiencing burining pain on the top of my head every day for about six weeks. I am currently taking neurontin for it (900 mg; three times per day), but it no longer seems to be working. It has been gradually increased over the past two years.

I just heard back from my neurologist and he wants me to wean off of the neurontin and then try elavil. Does anyone have any experience with it? I am going to be taking it at bedtime. I currently take ambien along with neutontin at that time and I am wondering if it is safe to continue taking the ambien. I guess I will ask the pharmacist.
