Amitriptyline (Tryptomer, Elavil, Tryptizol, Laroxyl, Sarotex, Lentizol, Endep) is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). It is the most widely used TCA and has at least equal efficacy against depression as the newer class of SSRIs according to a study from early 2001. As well as reducing depressive symptoms, these types of tricyclics also ease migraines, tension headaches, anxiety attacks and some schizophrenic symptoms. It is also known to reduce agression and violent behaviour.
Amitriptyline is used for a number of medical conditions including: depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, migraine prophylaxis, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, post-herpetic neuralgia, and insomnia.
Amitriptyline is used in ankylosing spondylitis for pain relief. It is also used as a preventive for patients with recurring biliary dyskinesia (sphincter of Oddi dysfunction).
Amitriptyline is also used in the treatment of nocturnal enuresis in children.
Amitriptyline may be prescribed for other conditions such as cyclic vomiting syndrome post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),chronic pain, tinnitus, chronic cough, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), fibromyalgia, vulvodynia, interstitial cystitis, male chronic pelvic pain syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), diabetic peripheral neuropathy, neurological pain, laryngeal sensory neuropathy, chronic fatigue syndrome and painful paresthesias related to multiple sclerosis. Typically lower dosages are required for pain modification of 10 to 50 mg daily.

So long, goodbye
By order of the Pasadena court
So long, goodbye
Five hundred milligrams
Held down by a pharamceutical hand, goodbye
Are needed everyday
So we can regulate my uncontrollable urge
Remember me as I was
Too much life, oh, and too much love
Last week, my lastly stunning stunt
Top tier, my jumping chandelier
That's why I'm here
Amitriptyline
Ami...
Amitriptyline
I was a quiet, lunch box lonely little boy
Reading sci-fi, broken treehouse on the shore
Nineteen, talking in my head got harder to understand
No work, no school, drifting, a failing satellite
Don't feel sorry for me, I've been happy too
Manic, kindly, blinding, high-res euphoria
Please remember me as I was
The crowning dove, the clowing judge
Sad king alone in the western wing
Holding foe's laughing, severed head
That's why I'm here
Amitriptyline
Ami...
