[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 285648, member: 1233"] There are several other types of medications to prevent migraines. If this one is causing this much in the way of side effects then you need to push your doctor to find another medication to help. Even a different tricyclic antidepressant might help. The "can't stand to be touched" and the restless leg/body thing could very well be the extra pyramidal side effects similar to what Jessie suffered with. If the doctor doesn't want to try a different AD, then ask for a beta blocker (most are DIRT CHEAP) or a calcium channel blocker. If one blocker has not worked, try another or even try a different one in the same class. The dizzy when standing may go away in time. It took me a couple of weeks, but I did manage to get that one to go away when I started taking propranolol. I have never had the restless body thing go away until a few days or weeks after I stopped the medicine causing it. I hope you feel better soon! Susie [/QUOTE]
