It is very common to feel dizzy when starting Ciplar (propranolol) and Tryptomer (amitriptyline) for daily headaches. These are highly effective preventive medications, but your body needs some time to adjust. Propranolol can gently lower your blood pressure, and amitriptyline can cause mild lightheadedness?both of which can lead to temporary dizziness. This side effect often improves over a couple of weeks. For now, try rising slowly from sitting or lying down and stay well-hydrated. Please reach out to your prescribing doctor, as they can easily manage this by adjusting your dosage or timing to help you feel more comfortable.
