Main Description
Amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, is often prescribed off-label for the treatment of migraines and chronic tension headaches. The medication works by increasing the levels of brain chemicals such as serotonin and/or norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters are associated with mood regulation and a reduction in anxiety. It's worth noting that serotonin and norepinephrine also play roles in various other bodily functions beyond mood, including the modulation of pain perception..
