I am having medicine for anxiety disorder for past 14 years..Particularly clofranil 25 to 50 mg. I am also suffering from Headache (Migraine type) from childhood. Now a days I have been prescribed tabs to be taken at night as: (1) 100 mg Certaline (2) 25 mg clofranil...however in last 1 month I am getting headache with Neck back Pain (occasionally jaw pain) twice a week...The Neck Pain is usually daily so Dr advised Decorate ER 250 mg for 2 week at morning and night. I would like to know how effective this would be and is it habitual ?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yoi are having migraine and anxiety associated headache.
You are not taking appropriate drugs for migraine and anxiety.
Treatment of choice for migraine with anxiety is combination of Propranolol and flunarizine.
So start this combination once daily at night time.
Along with drugs few lifestyle modifications are also important for migraine prevention.
1. Avoid Fasting and take your meals timely.
2. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
3. Avoid excessive sun exposure.
4. Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours.

Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
