As a direct treatment for CH: this whole class of meds have not been notably useful. Some docs use to help ease pain for e.g., chronic pain disorders but not for the acute pain of CH.

and surgical treatments for CH. Written by one of the better headache docs in the U.S.  (2002)

tried, didna work... YMMV...

This med also goes by the name elivil(SP?) and there have been some studies done that show that this medicine does have some sucess with ch.  If you do a search on elivil you may find it here on the boards it has been brought up before and some studies about it where posted.  I tried it at 50mg and had seizures from it.  I have a history of siezures and this is a medicine that can cause them if you are suseptable to them.  Which was my case.  Anyway because of that my dr took me off of it.  So I can not personally attest to wheather or not it is effective just what I have read and heard about here.  

Thanks guys i have done a bit of reserach on it and there is not enough reason for me to try em so i guess ill just wait for the melatonin to come and see how that goes thought i may have been out of cycle 2 days PF then got hit by a train this morning but hey it is what it is and i just have to deal
