Hello All,

This is my first post; however, I have been visiting this site for quite some time looking for information on migraines.

My teenage son has been diagnosed with a transformed migraine and was prescribed amitriptyline. We've been told it takes 4-6 weeks for this medication to begin helping.

Unfortunately, it's been four weeks and he has not had any relief whatsoever. We were hoping there would be some gradual improvement as the four week marked approached.

I'm wondering if we're being too impatient and need to keep hanging in there, or if we should be noticing some effect (even a little) by now?

Thanks for any suggestions.
