Brief Answer:
amitriptyline.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand your concerns.

I think you misspelt the drug name.
'Irazipin' is not a drug, as far as I know.

Kindly reply back with the correct drug name so that I can guide you properly.

Regarding tension headache, the drug of choice is amitriptyline. This will help in tension headache as well as in sleep.

Other than this, clonazepam or lorazepam can be taken if the problem of sleep still persists.

All these drugs are prescription drugs and must be taken under doctor's supervision.

Hope this helps.
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks.
