A member asked:
I suffer from migraines and i'm on amitriptyline, i also was given migraleive before onset migraine, can i take the migraleive aswell as amitriptyline?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A low dose of amitriptylene is often used once a day at bedtime to try and prevent migraines. If you do get a migraine while on the amitriptylene it is safe to take migraleive as well. However, since both medications are sedating, you must be careful and not drive or operate machinery while using both medications.
