Amitriptyline
pain
"I was prescribed this for breakthrough pain, but it did not help it at all. I also got severely depressed the first day I started taking it, and it did not let up.  However, the one thing it did help with was my MAV (migraine associated vertigo)!  Immediately after taking it, I was no longer dizzy!  Every day I took this, I wasn't dizzy and could actually function normally.  I would have stayed on it for this reason but the depression was too much.  My sleep specialist also almost prescribed this for my insomnia but I was already on other antidepressants at the time.  I'm no longer on any of those (It was PMDD the entire time) but still this wouldn't have helped anyway (like every other sleep medicine I've tried)."
