I've heard of it being increased to find the right therapeutic dosage (called titrating) but over time can indicate a development of tolerance. How much was he originally prescribed, and how much are they increasing it to? (I've heard of 10, 20 & 30 mg for migraine).

There may be more info available by googling: amitriptyline for migraine

If you're looking for alternatives to discuss with his doctor, try the searches I mentioned previously.
