Default Elavil (Amitriptyline) for PCS?

Hi again!

I wanted to check in with this forum and ask whether anybody has been prescribed Elavil or another type of Amitriptyline for their PCS symptoms?

I’m curious what dosage you are/were on, whether it has helped and whether you developed any symptoms?

Four months after my car accident, I am still dealing with daily headaches/migraines, neck pain, nausea, dizziness and the occasional blurry vision and sensitivity to light (although this has gotten considerably better).

My doctor has prescribed Elavil 10mg for one month, but I’m concerned about the fact that it is an anti-depressant, and not sure whether it will target these symptoms/PCS directly, or if it’s just something that my doctor is giving me because she isn’t taking my symptoms seriously (thinking that I’m being too “worried” about this whole thing and trying to shoo me out of her office with an anti-depressant?)

I would really appreciate any input. Thanks so much…
