I was sort of relieved to hear that I suffer from chronic tension headaches and nerve damage although nobody seems to know why. After years of pain I'm taking amitriptyline at night before I go to bed. It's nice waking up and getting through a bit of the day without feeling like I can't move my neck or head and that my scalp is tingling and tight all day not to mention the clamp around my head and pain behind my eyeballs..!!

Can't seem to make it last past 2pm though. Taking four at night at the moment as well as all my epilepsy meds. Doc says I can go up to 7 if I need to, seems a bit much although they are only 10mg per tablet. Apparently it takes up to 8 weeks to stop feeling any pain at all. I'm patient I just hate it when they wear off and I crash..!!
