Amitriptyline dosage?

What dose has worked for you?

I started at 10mg and now I'm up to 30mg without much improvement.
I suffer from migraines and tension headaches daily.

  3. 50mg seemed to work for me, but I found the side effects at that level to be intolerable. I hope the dosage you work out with your doctor are effective and tolerated well.

  4. Mood changes are an important topic in migraine awareness. Some people experience irritability, anxiety, or changes in mood before or during an attack, and these experiences can affect everyday life. Understanding the connection between migraine and emotional well-being is an important part of supporting people living with this condition. Open conversations and guidance from healthcare professionals can help people find appropriate support. Thank you to everyone sharing their experiences here.
