I am taking amitriptyline 10mg for headache/sleep and experienced swollen toes. is it a side effect or allergy? any alternative med for amitriptyline?

Neither: a side effect nor an allergy to the drug, it may cause some water retention in your body, but not at this dose. Can't suggest an alternative on this platform, please see your doctor, or your neurologist, for assessment and an alternative to treat your headaches / sleep problems, good luck
