Hi.. first post..

Iv been taking amitriptyline for 7 months now for chronic pelvic pain syndrome and it has succeeded in eradicating the pain very well.. but in the last 5 days iv developed a awful headache around the forehead and eyes that i cant shake off.. could anyone tell me if this could be linked to amitriptyline (50mg) im also having a dry mouth plus trouble pee'ing which iv read are definitely linked to the amitriptyline but its the headache that is the worse for me currently

    Here's a pretty good list of side effects if you wish to take a look....

    I'm not a doctor though of course! I have been digging into Ami info over the last few months, as I am coming off the drug....
