[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 285127, member: 1514"] Are your headaches migraines? You are already on the BiPolar (BP) medication. Amitriptyline is Elavil isnt it? I think it is which is used at low dose for sleep and fibro. I hadnt heard about it for headaches. Hmmm. I can see the connection though. Are you having them every day or just every so often. Elavil (easier for me to spell) is sedating so I can see why it would knock you out especially with your other medications. Its kinda like trazadone which is why they use it for sleep. If you dont like this, why not ask for either...fioricet which is really good for migraines and doesnt cause sedation in most people even though it has a little bit of barbituate in it or my new love...Frova. I didnt have a huge problem with migraines most of my life...had a few (maybe 20 in my life) but after the meningitis I started getting them. They put me on Frova which is a new migraine medication and it works great. It is not sedating at all and works very well. I feel nothing except the pain goes bye bye. [/QUOTE]
