Hello everyone!
Im 5 months after a concussion and developed horrible migraines (can’t leave the bed literally).. my neurologist is Recommending amitriptyline for treatment but prior to that I was taking Nortriptyline but unfortunately developed a horrible allergic reaction. Has anyone taken them amitriptyline and was it helpful And worth the side effects? |

Amitryptiline is usually used in very low doses for the concussion headache benefit.
What kind of dose did you try with nortryptiline?

I took Nortriptalyne only 5 days, but developed chest tightness, shortness of breath, heart palpitations.. was in ER a couple of times, steroids .. not fun
Do you have experience taking Ami? The side effects list is terrifying, just scared of having to go through that again |

Nortriptyline knocked me out!.....I even cut them in half and still effected me...We are all different on side effects...
For 5 years my headaches are much less, and under control using Medical Marijuana.....I wouldnt of believed it myself, I am now off all pharmaceuticals for seizures and headaches. |

States have different laws for MJ , so check your laws ,you will probably find info on medical MJ at the same time..
Or web search medical MJ , your state

Do like Jo*mar suggests.....IMO I doubt a neuro would?...Maybe a refural to someone they know?....Im in AZ and all we have is MM...It took some time to figure it out....Now I am much happier, less headaches, no night terrors, and sleep well.....Good luck

Thank you to all!!
Sleep has become a big problem all of a sudden. Will try to look into structural components of both - thank you so much for your advice! I’ve been using CBD oil, but I don’t think it has been helping much although my headaches come down a little bit. |
