A member asked:

Can i take amityripiline during the day and which is better for g a d, lyrica (pregabalin) or amityripiline. many thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Amitriptyline drowsy: Amitriptyline I presume is prescribed for your headaches. Amitriptyline may cause drowsiness, which is why patients usually take it at night. The part of the question about GAD is best answered by a psychiatrist.
