Chole,
If it turns out that you cannot stand the appetite effects of the doxepin, the next logical thing to try would be nortriptyline. It is the active metabolite of amitrip, but it is much milder.
It will not help sleep as much, has less ach (dry mouth etc) blockade that even doxepin, but still has some properties in common with ami so it could work for your scalp pain.
Or maybe the 25mg doxepin will be the right dose.
