Hi Gayle.
I am so glad that you are encouraged by what you are feeling. One day at a time.
Is your headache somehow different than it would be if you were taking no drugs at all?
Some of the tricyclics are powerful antihistamines. Amitriptyline is perhaps 10 times more powerful an antihistamine than is nortriptyline. That might explain your observations.
You can take an antihistamine as long as it doesn't have a decongestant in it. I believe oxymetazoline, pseudoephidrine, and phenylpropanolamine are the main ones used in OTC products.
Maybe someone else can chime in and address this question better than I can.
