Yes , you can take Amitriptyline for atleast 3 months for Migraine under supervision of a psychiatrist . Also migraine often is associated with triggers , can be emotional or physical such as hunger / sun exposure / dehydration / certain foods .. try finding your trigger and avoid it . That will significantly reduce the frequency of migraine
