[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 286240, member: 1233"] Oh, sweetie, I am SO sorry you are hurting that way. I know what you mean and have been there many times. It is the major reason we have no guns in our home. I can get really irrational when the headaches get bad. I would go back on it also in your condition. I wish there were better choices. Trazodone is used commonly for sleep I find. I can't take it because I never wake up and spend days on end groggy, but many get great help - including Wiz. It is the only medication that ever knocked him out for a night. I hope you feel better soon. If I think of any suggestions, or other medications that could be useful I will let you know. have they tried any of the antiseizure medications? They added keppra to my lyrica when the lyrica stopped handling the headaches. It is helping. I know that depakote can also be used. They also use MAOI inhibiters but they are a last resort or so I was told. Many medicines and even foods cause serious reactions if taken with MAOI medications. You might try the liquid doxepin (very very close in chemical makeup to elavil) and adjust it to how you feel. Also if you take the elavil earlier in the evening then it might not make you sleep as much. I took it at dinner and would be asleep in about 3 hours. I was able to function in the morning a bit better. [/QUOTE]
