Amitriptyline

Amitriptyline is a medication used to treat depression. It belongs to a class of medications known as tricyclic antidepressants. Amitriptyline works by affecting the balance of certain chemicals in the brain, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, which are involved in regulating mood. In addition to depression, Amitriptyline may also be prescribed to treat other conditions such as anxiety, chronic pain, and insomnia. It is usually taken orally in the form of tablets or capsules.
