Amitriptyline An antidepressant.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Antidepressant
A term typically used to describe medications that are used in the treatment of depression. Such medications are sometimes found useful in the treatment of anxiety and panic disorders, but tend to still be called antidepressants because doctors originally used them to treat depression before realizing the medications could treat anxiety as well. In other words, taking an antidepressant does not necessarily imply that a person is depressed. Medications such as Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors (SRIs) and Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs) are often called antidepressants, yet are commonly used to treat anxiety as well.
