My son was diagnosed with NDPH in 2016, when he was 15. He has good luck with pain reduction with amyltriptaline. He takes 40 mg nightly. It provides effective relief but not a complete removal of pain. On a pain scale of 1 - 10, his "normal" is a pain level of 1 to 3.

I’m so happy for you and your son. I am one of those unfortunate ppl for whom it seems no medication on earth will work. So many of the drugs I’ve tried have side effects that make me *more* incapacitated than the NDPH. So it’s nice to hear positive outcomes like this.
