Amitriptyline: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, and More

Amitriptyline Hydrochloride is a prescription antidepressant used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) and, in some cases, chronic pain, migraine prevention, and sleep disturbances related to depression. As a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA), it boosts certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin and norepinephrine. Elavil helps improve mood, relieve anxiety and tension, and promote better sleep.
