My background is: typical MAV symptoms, saw neurologist, his opinion was migrainous vertigo, prescribed 10mg amitryptiline. Within a few days of starting ami, I felt absolutely fantastic. Normal even. The only side effect seems to be an incredibly dry mouth and possibly weird half-waking dreams during the night. I thought I’d got my life back. Yesterday I had a blinding headache, and today I’ve woken up with all the old devil symptoms again. I can think of a long list of possible interpretations of this, and have plumped for “It’s early days, you need to give it time”. I’m not due to see the neurologist for 6 months, although I may see the GP soon to get his/her take on it. Ami seemed to work so well at first, so something must be right about it, surely? In the meantime I’d appreciate any comments you might like to bounce around, any similar experiences? I just can’t discuss this blasted affliction anymore with family/friends, I’m sick of boring them with the minutiae of my search for wellness. Any contributions would be really welcome, thanks.
