Default Amitriptyline - experiences, thoughts?

I'm over 2 years in. I went to see my primary care for my neck pain and tension because my neuro. was basically ignoring it. I asked for a neck MRI and he said to try amitriptyline first. I guess he is figuring that my symptoms are migraine related even though I don't have a lot of headaches? Is this possible?

The side effects and withdrawl from this drug look to be bad. What have others experienced? What did it help with or what did it make worse?

THanks.
