Description

Amitriptyline tablets are a type of medicine used to help people feel better when they are dealing with pain, anxiety, or depression. Doctors sometimes prescribe this medicine for other conditions too, like nerve pain or sleep problems. Amitriptyline belongs to a group of medicines called tricyclic antidepressants. It works by balancing certain chemicals in the brain that affect mood and pain. By doing this, it can help people feel calmer and reduce pain that does not go away easily.  Amitriptyline is used for a variety of reasons, including:

Depression: Amitriptyline helps with depression by balancing the chemicals in the brain that control mood.  

Nerve Pain: People with conditions like arthritis or diabetes sometimes feel nerve pain, which can be a burning or tingling feeling in the body. Amitriptyline helps to ease this type of pain.

Sleep Problems: Some people have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Amitriptyline, when taken at bedtime, may help them get a better night’s sleep.
