Hi, it is also known as Elavil used to mostly treat depression. A neurologist gave it to me a few yrs back. Having worked in the mental health field I was familar with the drug. He told me that it is also used to treat headpain. I didnt have the sedation Tegretol did that. Try to be patient and keep taking it, often some side effects subside and good effects become apparent. My neuro said "Hey, if it does not help your head maybe they will make you happier"
