Default Increasing amitriptyline?

Since I started 25 mg of amitriptyline in July, I have been sleeping great. Prior to that, my sleep was very disrupted. I would wake up at all random hours of the night and had really crazy dreams.

This week, I started waking up in the middle of the night again. It happened every night. Yesterday, I also had the worst headache I've had in quite a long time.

I noticed on another thread that crystal mentioned having her amitriptyline dose increased. I wondered if anyone else has had to do this as your body became more accustomed to the medication?
