Hi,

Tryptomer (Amitriptyline) can cause various side effects. Some of them are:
CV:
Orthostatic hypotension
hypertension
tachycardia
palpitations
arrhythmias
ECG changes

CNS:
Confusion
hallucinations
disturbed concentration
decreased memory
delusions
nervousness
restlessness
agitation
panic
insomnia
nightmares
mania
exacerbation of psychosis
drowsiness
dizziness
weakness
emotional lability
numbness
tremors
extrapyramidal symptoms (eg, pseudoparkinsonism, movement disorders, akathisia)
seizures

DERM:
Rash
pruritus
photosensitivity reaction
dry skin
acne
itching etc.

The prophylactic treatment of migraine include Propranolol (Betacap ) and Amitriptyline (Tryptomer). The probability of success with any one of the anti-migraine drugs is 50–75%. Many patients are managed adequately with low-dose Amitriptyline, Propranolol.

Many patients are able to discontinue medication and experience fewer and milder attacks for long periods, suggesting that these drugs may alter the natural history of migraine.

Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
