[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 285567"] I asked my doctor for Desipramine, which is a similar medication (in the same family), but I had heard didn't have as many side effects. I take 25 mgs. for my migraines and find it to be helpful. I also take a small dosage of Topamax and some vitamins (CoQ10, calcium, magnesium, B50). I think, but don't know for sure, that Elavil might be hard to take along with- another antidepressant. You might want to talk with- the doctor about experimenting with lower dosages of either the amitriptyline or the Lexapro. Also, if coffee doesn't bother you, you can have a little bit of coffee in the morning for awhile to help you wake up. I never have more than a half a cup. I love Folgers 1/2 and 1/2 coffee. I take 50 mgs. of Imitrex (and sometimes add Naproxen) to stop a bad headache or migraine. [/QUOTE]
