amitriptyline

Amitriptyline is a medication mainly used to treat depression, but it can also help with conditions like chronic pain and migraines. It works by increasing certain chemicals in the brain that help improve mood and reduce pain signals. Amitriptyline belongs to a class called tricyclic antidepressants, which influence neurotransmitters to balance mood and pain perception. It may take a few weeks to see full benefits and can cause side effects like drowsiness or dry mouth. It’s important to take it exactly as prescribed and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
