Amitriptyline Hydrochloride is a prototype dibenzocycloheptadiene tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It inhibits the presynaptic neuronal reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin, while also antagonizing muscarinic, histaminergic H1, and alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, and blocking neuronal sodium channels. Indicated for major depressive disorder, neuropathic pain (diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia), chronic tension-type headache and migraine prophylaxis, and nocturnal enuresis in children.

Possible Side Effects
Common: Sedation, dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, weight gain, dizziness, urinary retention, orthostatic hypotension. Rare/Severe: Cardiotoxicity (QT prolongation, arrhythmias, heart block, sudden cardiac death in overdose), paralytic ileus, seizures, and mania switch.
*Note: Individual physiological responses vary. While many patients experience few or no side effects, notify your treating physician if adverse reactions persist or if hypersensitivity (angioedema, skin rash, dyspnea) occurs.
Precautions & Warnings
Black box warning for suicidality in young adults. Contraindicated during acute recovery after myocardial infarction, in cardiac arrhythmias, heart block, and concurrent MAOIs. Highly toxic in overdose; prescribe restricted quantities in suicidal patients. Caution in glaucoma and prostatic hypertrophy.
Schedule H (Prescription Required)

Gabapentin (300mg) and Amitriptyline (10mg) Tablets combines an alpha-2-delta calcium channel ligand with a tricyclic antidepressant.

Chlordiazepoxide and Amitriptyline is a classic psychotropic formulation combining a benzodiazepine with a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). Chlordiazepoxide provides prompt reduction of psychic tension, anxiety, and agitation via GABAA receptor enhancement, while amitriptyline inhibits the neuronal reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin to resolve underlying depressive illness. Indicated for moderate-to-severe depression associated with prominent anxiety, agitation, and insomnia.
