Hi, yes "off label" to treat headaches migraines, read the information I have provided below please.-
Pamelor
Nortriptyline is used to elevate the mood of patients with depression. Non-FDA approved (off-label) use of nortriptyline includes attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults, children and adolescents as second-line therapy due to failed or partial response to other FDA-approved therapies. Another off-label use for nortriptyline is as adjunctive therapy (added to other therapy) for chronic pain (for example, migraine, tension headaches, diabetic neuropathy, cancer pain, arthritic pain).
Take care
