¿Qué es Amitriptyline Hcl?

Tu médico puede recetarte amitriptilina si sufres de depresión mayor. Los médicos también han utilizado la amitriptilina en el tratamiento del trastorno de ansiedad, el trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) y el trastorno bipolar. La fibromialgia y las migrañas también han sido tratadas con amitriptilina. La amitriptilina puede tener efectos secundarios molestos, por lo que los médicos a menudo prueban otros medicamentos primero.
