P.S. you are correct in saying that some people may misinterpret medication side-effects for persistent mTBI symptoms. The only way to find out is to do a trial discontinuation of the drug (under the guidance of your physician of course).

If mTBI sufferers are experiencing relief of pain symptoms with this drug but are troubled by oversedation, an alternative is to try Nortriptyline. In actual fact, when Amitriptyline is metabolized in the liver, it becomes Nortryptiline. Eventually Nortryptiline is itself metabolized by the liver on its way to be deactivated. Just a thought. Cheers, Canadoc
