Talk to prescriber: Agree with Dr. Ferguson. This is a common medication choice for chronic pain conditions and quite safe at that dose. Please respect the medical provider who prescribed it enough, to at least discuss your concerns with him/ her (rather than going to complete strangers on the internet).

See below: Amitriptylline has often been prescribed for individuals suffering from frequent migraine for prophylactic purpose (Prevention), instead of treatment. Various forms of triptans are available for migraine relief. See your primary care provider.
