I am on 50mg of amitriptyline for migraines. i talked to the neurologist about going off of them. what is the best way to taper off by 10mg at a time?

Elavil (amitriptyline): Gradual tapering as outlined by your Neurologist is best.

Side effects?: Has your neurologist considered recommending nortriptyline which generally has less intense side effects than amitriptyline (if side effects are hampering you?). I tend to wean my patients off by about 10 mg. every 3-5 days from 50mg. to ZERO. Wanna chat about this a bit more? www.healthtap.com/drsaghafi
