Thinking of switching to Amytriptyline
Cymbalta has served me very well in my recovery, and without it I would not be where I am today.
However I have been working harder and getting headaches and fatigue more frequently, as well as tired/sore eyes. I have a frequent low level dull headache, even at weekends.
The only time my head feels truely normal is when I take Imagran (Sumatriptan) but this is limited to 6 tablets a month.
Cymbalta helps with mood, reducing symptoms and neuropathic pain. However I read that the most effective migraine preventative from clinical trials is Amytriptyline.
Part of me thinks I don't want to rock the boat, but another thinks I need more effective headache prevention. I have 14 x 10mg tablets in the cupboard.
What do others think?
