Treatment of depression; also used for neuropathic (nerve) pain, chronic pain conditions, and prevention of migraine/tension-type headache (as prescribed).

Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant that increases levels of serotonin and noradrenaline in the brain by inhibiting their reuptake. This helps improve mood and also modulates pain pathways, reducing nerve-related pain.
