Lexapro and Amitryptiline
by BlahinMD, Sep 23, 2007 09:21PM
I was prescribed the amitryptline as a migraine prevention but a low dosage of it. The neurologist asked me to stop taking the Lexapro because it would be a conflict of medications.
The lexapro made me feel better. I was happier and I had the energy to do anything. This new medicine is making me sleep 16+ hours a day and I don't feel better. I don't have headaches, however.
Would it be detrimental to take both?

I would agree with your neurologist. But also, it seems to me, that sleeping that much and feeling worse means that even if it stopping your headaches, it may not be the right medicaiton for you, or the only one. You should talk to your neurologist about that..
