    Amitriptyline Brand names: Elavil, Endep

    Indications In the drug management of depressive illness.

    Amitriptyline may be used in depressive illness of psychotic
    or endogenous nature and in selected patients with neurotic
    depression. Endogenous depression is more likely to be
    alleviated than are other depressive states. Amitriptyline,
    because of its sedative action, is also of value in
    alleviating the anxiety component of depression.

    As with other tricyclic antidepressants, amitriptyline may
    precipitate hypomanic episodes in patients with bipolar
    depression. These drugs are not indicated in mild depressive
    states and depressive reactions.

    Precautions The potency of amitriptyline is such that
    addition of other antidepressant drugs generally does not
    result in any additional therapeutic benefit. Untoward
    reactions have been reported after the combined use of
    antidepressant agents having varying modes of activity.
    Accordingly, combined use of amitriptyline and other
    antidepressant drugs should be undertaken only with due
    recognition of the possibility of potentiation and with a
    thorough knowledge of the pharmacology of both drugs. There
    has been no reports of untoward events when patients
    receiving amitriptyline were changed immediately to
    protriptyline or vice versa.

    When amitriptyline is used to treat the depressive component
    of schizophrenia, activation or aggravation of existing
    psychotic manifestation may occur. Likewise, manic
    depressive patients may experience hypomanic or manic
    episodes and hyperactive or agitated patients may become
    overstimulated. Paranoid delusions, with or without
    associated hostility, may be exaggerated. A reduction in
    dose or discontinuation of amitriptyline may be indicated
    and administration of a neuroleptic such as a phenothiazine,
    be considered under these circumstances.

    Seriously depressed patients should be carefully supervised.
    The possibility of suicide in depressed patients remains
    during treatment. Patients should not have access to large
    quantities of this drug during treatment.

    WHAT ARE THE MEDICATIONS FOR TENSION-TYPE HEADACHES?

    Pain Relievers for Mild to Moderate Headache Episodes

    A number of pain relievers are helpful for mild to
    moderate headaches. They should not be used to prevent
    headaches, however.

    Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs are
    common pain relievers that block prostaglandins, substances
    that dilate blood vessels and cause inflammation and pain.
    NSAIDs are usually the first drugs tried for almost any kind
    of headache. There are dozens of NSAIDs. Aspirin is the most
    common, but it is not as effective for acute tension-type
    headache as others. The most common NSAIDs are the
    following:

    Over-the-counter NSAIDs include aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin
    IB, Advil, Nuprin, Rufen), naproxen (Aleve), ketoprofen
    (Actron, Orudis KT). One study suggested that ibuprofen or
    naproxen is more effective than aspirin or acetaminophen for
    acute tension-type headache. Prescription NSAIDs include
    ibuprofen (Motrin), naproxen (Naprosyn, Anaprox, diclofenac
    (Voltaren), tolmetin (Tolectin), ketoprofen (Orudis,
    Oruvail), indomethacin (Indocin). Long-term use of these
    agents pose a risk for ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding.
    They should not be used to prevent tension headaches.

    Acetaminophen. Acetaminophen (Tylenol, Anacin-3, Panodal,
    Phenaphen, and Valadol) is a good alternative to NSAIDs when
    stomach distress, ulcers, or allergic reactions prohibit
    their use. Midrin (a combination of an agent that narrows
    blood vessels, a mild sedative, and acetaminophen) may be
    particularly useful for tension-type headaches.

    Antidepressants

    Antidepressants may be useful in preventing tension-type
    headaches. Those known as the tricyclics are most often used
    for prevention of severe chronic tension-type headaches.
    Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and selective serotonin
    reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may be used in milder cases.

    Tricyclic Antidepressants. Tricyclics are useful not only
    for depression but appear to help relieve muscle pain and
    improve sleep as well. The tricyclic drug most commonly used
    is amitriptyline (Elavil, Endep). It produces modest
    benefits against pain although it can lose effectiveness
    over time. One study reported that these agents may actually
    reduce the transmission of pain to the nerves in the face.

    Antidepressants

    Certain antidepressants are quite effective in preventing
    all forms of headache, including migraine. The most
    effective ones include the following two classes: Tricyclic
    antidepressants. They include amitriptyline (Elavil, Endep)
    and protriptyline (Vivactil). The tricyclics may be
    particularly useful for patients who suffer from both
    migraines and tension headaches. Low doses may also help
    prevent cyclic vomiting in childhood migraine.

    Serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). SSRIs are sometimes
    helpful in reducing migraines. They include fluoxetine
    (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), paroxetine (Paxil), and
    fluvoxamine (Luvox).

    Designer antidepressants. Newer antidepressants target
    neurotransmitters, such as norepinephrine, alone or in
    addition to serotonin. Nefazodone (Serzone) and venlafaxine
    (Effexor), are showing particular promise in preventing
    migraines. The effects of any of these antidepressants on
    headaches are most likely due to their effects on serotonin,
    a chemical messenger in the brain that influences depression
    and migraine. [For more extensive information on
    antidepressants, including side effects, see Well-Connected
    Report #8, Depression.]

    Tricyclic antidepressants

    Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) prevent migraine headaches
    by altering the neurotransmitters, norepinephrine and
    serotonin, that the nerves of the brain use to communicate
    with one another. The tricyclic antidepressants that have
    been used in preventing migraine headaches include
    amitriptyline (Elavil), nortriptyline (Pamelor, Aventyl),
    doxepin (Sinequan), imipramine (Tofranil), and
    protriptyline.

    What Jan is trying to do is justify her taking of Elavil for

    If Jan did not have a problem with headaches and someone
    else took Elavil for headaches or pain Jan would be
    critical posting articles about how conventional medication
    does not deal with the root of the problem and just covers

    She criticizes people for the exact behavior that she

    made an insane mission out of the semantic difference
    between the words "procedure" and "practice". What the
    HELL does it matter whether Peter B. used one or the
    other??!! The principle is the same, and you have this
    blithering, idiotic fixation on his "LIE" in using one
    versus the other...

    other?

    Argue over concepts and principles, not this stupid banter
    over the miniscule and completely unimportant difference
    between the word "procedure" and the word "practice".

    To put it another way, what is the substantive difference
    between the following two statements:

    1) "It is common practice to brush one's teeth before
    bedtime."

    2) "It is the common procedure to brush one's teeth
    before bedtime."

    Gosh Almighty, woman! Do you have nothing more important

    Peter B used the

    REST, already!

    Paranoia often results in people taking offense when none is
    intended. OTOH the more likely explanation is that it is a
    manifestation of Jan's longstanding tendency to project her
    own problems onto others. Jan lies but calls others liars.
    Jan belittles but complains about others belittling. Jan
    attacks others but perceives the attacks as coming from
    without. Jan is one sick cookie.

    coldness to ease my migraine and summer's here so opening

    produce a cold sensation it won't help but hey, any help

    Out of context or not, it shows the pattern of Richard

    Ooh, I've got an alternative to try!<g>

    My mother overheard two women talking about how well
    this stuff works
    so she got some for me to try, it's called "Migrastick"
    and contains
    lavender and peppermint in a roll-on vial... I haven't
    had a headache
    or migraine yet(only got it 2 days ago) so I've not
    tried it myself.

    I'd love stuff like this to work but I doubt it does
    much more than give a feeling of coolness which while it
    admittedly could be quite pleasant during a migraine
    would be unlikely to stop it.

    You might be surprised.

    Well I tried the stuff just to see how cooling it would be
    and it's *cold*! I think it'll be useful since I use
    coldness to ease my migraine and summer's here so opening
    a window won't do much good. Unless it does more than
    produce a cold sensation it won't help but hey, any help
    is better than nothing! I'll just use it alongside the
    other stuff I use.

    Have you heard of it/tried it yourself?

    Vashti

    Yes, sometimes it helped, sometimes not, depending on the
    type of headache.

    However below is suggestions of how to use it.

    B-b-b-b-b-b-ut, Jan, Vashti was not interested in RHJ.
    Why did you divert the discussion? The discussion is not
    about RHJ!
