Full Question: I have a 16 year old daughter who has been taking 75mg of amitriptyline for her migraines for about a year now. I have noticed severe anger in her personality as well as complete silence. She has lashed out at me physically and I landed in the hospital. She also cannot concentrate...

I am shocked by the comment that Pamelor is probably not behind the rage this woman's daughter experienced. The package inserts have a statement that is something like "troublesome patient hostility may be aroused by the use of this drug." If this daughter only became violent after she started taking the drugs, it is probably the drug that is the cause.
