How does amitriptyline work?
Amitriptyline, which is marketed under the brand name Elavil among others, is a tricyclic antidepressant principally used to treat major depressive disorder, cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS), and a number of pain syndromes, including neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, migraines, and tension headaches. Amitriptyline is typically regarded as second-line therapy for these indications due to the prevalence and severity of side effects. The most typical adverse effects include weight gain, constipation, dry mouth, tiredness, and dizziness. Noteworthy is sexual dysfunction, which is mainly seen in men. Glaucoma, liver damage, and irregular heartbeats are uncommon but severe side effects.
Amitriptyline's blood levels differ greatly from person to person, and it interacts with many other drugs, potentially exacerbating its negative effects.
