My dad has blepharospasm where his left eye and cheek keep twitching nonstop, and it's really bothering him. He even gets headaches from it. Doctors mentioned surgery or injections as options, but I'm wondering if there are other treatments we could try first. What else might help with this?

Can I take melatonin to help me sleep if I'm already prescribed a 25 mg amitriptyline pill daily to reduce my headache frequency? I'm just worried if there's any interaction or issues mixing the two.

Melatonin and amitryptiline has a potential for interaction so it should be used very carefully as they both increase sedation and drowsiness. The medications should not be had unless directed by your treating doctor. If you develop any problem visit the ER at the earliest.
