"i am currently 16 years old, and have chronic nerve pain in my left arm- it has been 2 years so far. the doctors did basically nothing until now because my insurance (state insurance) was having them go through all kinds of hoops. finally i was sent to pain management in the recent month, and from there i was prescribed amitriptyline hcl. i&#039;ve found so far, after taking this medication for almost a week, 10mg 30 mins before i go to bed, that i&#039;ve been having intense headaches, but only in my right side of my brain, along with sinus pressure and extreme drowsiness. i literally have slept an entire 19 hours! normally i only sleep from 10pm to 6am, so sleeping this long is insane.

so far it hasn&#039;t helped with my pain either... :("
