Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that is commonly prescribed for migraine headaches. It works by dilating blood vessels and improving blood flow, which can relieve the vascular constriction that is believed to be a cause of migraines. Citalopram and imipramine are antidepressants, and lamotrigine is an anticonvulsant, none of which are commonly used for the treatment of migraines.
