SALT INFORMATION FOR Amnuring

Amitriptyline(5mg)

Uses

Amitriptyline is used in the treatment of depression, neuropathic pain and migraine.

How it works

Amitriptyline contains Amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant. It has anticholinergic and sedative properties. It prevents the reuptake, and hence the inactivation of neurotransmitters called noradrenaline and serotonin, that are present at the nerve terminals in our brain. Reuptake prevention of these monoamine neurotransmitters potentiate their action in the brain. This appears to be associated with the antidepressant activity and helps in regulating the mood.

Q. I have been taking Amitriptyline for depression since a week and recently I have been wanting to harm myself. What should I do? Is it because of the medicine?
You should immediately consult your doctor or go to the hospital. Your suicidal tendencies may have increased because of your disease or the medicine. Generally, Amitriptyline takes about 2 weeks to show its effect but may take longer. Therefore, when you start taking Amitriptyline, you may have thoughts about killing or harming yourself.

Q. If my pain is not relieved, can I take more than the recommended dose?
No, you should use Amitriptyline strictly as prescribed by the doctor. If the dose exceeds, you may develop drowsiness, confusion, difficulty in speech, dry mouth, tiredness, difficulty in walking, fever, difficulty in breathing, blue discoloration of the skin and decreased heartbeat. Your pain may not be relieved because Amitriptyline takes about 2 weeks to show its effect, but it may take longer in some cases. The duration of treatment can differ from individual to individual. Consult your doctor if your symptoms are not relieved.
Q. Does Amitriptyline cause any effect on pregnancy or the newborn?
Do not take Amitriptyline during pregnancy unless recommended by the doctor. If you take this medicine during the last trimester of the pregnancy, the newborn may develop symptoms such as irritability, rigidity, irregular body movements, irregular breathing, poor drinking, loud crying, difficulty in urinating and constipation.
Q. How long does Amitriptyline take to work?
You may see an improvement in your symptoms after a couple of weeks, although it usually takes between 4 and 6 weeks before you feel the benefits. Do not stop taking Amitriptyline after 1 or 2 weeks just because you feel it is not helping your symptoms. Give the medicine at least 6 weeks to work.
Q. How will Amitriptyline make me feel?
Antidepressants like Amitriptyline help to gradually lift your mood. You may notice that you sleep better and are less anxious. You may worry less about little things that used to bother you. Amitriptyline will not make you feel excessively or unusually happy. It will help you feel like yourself again.
