View the Comparison Table: Some Drugs for Migraine Prevention in Adults

In our article on Drugs for Chronic Insomnia, we said there is little evidence that antidepressants such as trazodone, mirtazapine, or amitriptyline are effective in treating insomnia not associated with depression. We received a comment from a reader who has prescribed the tricyclic antidepressant amitriptyline for insomnia, particularly for patients with headache disorders, and finds that most patients are satisfied with the treatment.
