amitrioptyline is more likely to trigger bipolar than cover it up, it has probably masked the headaches and depression though.
I'd ask for a sleeping pill for a while (Ambien for example) and discuss the possability of taking an antidepressant like nortriptyline, this will help the headaches, help with your sleep, and help with anxiety/depression.
Usual dose would be 75mg at night. An alternative would be remeron, this would be better for anxiety, about the same for depression, perhaops not so strong against headache.
