[QUOTE="Josie, post: 292510, member: 1792"] She was on amitriptyline for a couple of years. It controlled her headaches for a while. Then she went off from that because we were looking for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) relief and her psychiatrist didn't like amitriptyline with the SSRI's. We've never been able to get her headaches under control since then. We have a new psychiatrist who will be more aggressive, I think, in treating her. He also understands about the headaches so will be able to help with that, too, hopefully. Her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is improving. I haven't seen a noticeable difference between the 2.5mg and the 5 mg on her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), so I'm hoping she'll get relief even with the small dose. She has been doing lots of CBT/ERP therapy for it also so it could be that instead of the Lexapro helping it. The amitriptyline helped her sleep so I might ask the psychiatrist if we can go back to that instead of the Trazadone. [/QUOTE]
