It appears that your symptom could be attributed to TCA discontinuation syndrome - due to abrupt stoppage of Amitryptilline
Next Steps
Kindly contact your treating psychiatrist, once there is symptom resolution of migraine, the medication needs to slowly and gradually tapered down and stopped; NOT abruptly
