DESCRIPTION
Amitriptyline tablets belong to a class of drugs called tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), used in the treatment of symptoms of mental depression, including anxiety. Elavil is thought to improve mood by raising the level of neurotransmitters (the brain messenger chemicals norepinephrine and serotonin) thereby improving anxiety with its sedative effects. Side effects of amitriptyline include dry mouth, mild drowsiness, photosensitivity, urinary retention, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and confusion. It should be taken at night due to its sedative effects. It may take up to two to three weeks to take effect.

Multiple Sclerosis patients may suffer neuropathic pain — pain that arises from nerve dysfunction, not a result of direct injury. Painful paresthesias (burning sensations, pins and needles, and stabbing pains) are caused by damage to the regulating pathways of the brain and spinal cord. This type of pain has also been treated with amitriptyline. Other off-label uses of this drug include migraine prevention, tension headache prevention, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, and trigeminal neuralgia (a facial nerve disorder). TCAs should not be used in combination with another type of antidepressant called MAO inhibitors.
