I was so happy to discover this article the other day.
The article by Diana Lee of Migraine.com discusses new migraine prevention research that studies the effectiveness of Melatonin vs. amitriptyline. Please read the full article here.
This study has found that Melatonin can be just as much, if not more, effective than amitriptyline, with more tolerable and desirable side effects. I've always been a big advocate for Melatonin as a natural sleep aid, and now it's possible I can prevent some morning headaches and migraines as well. I tried amitriptyline quite a few years ago, but had no luck and turned out to be allergic.
I'm actually excited to eventually meet with a specialist and discuss this prospect. Now it's just a matter of figuring out where I'm going to be living in the next month so I can find a local specialist!
