Amitriptyline /ˌæmɪˈtrɪptɪliːn/[5] (Elavil, Endep, Levate and many others) is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). It is the most widely used TCA.
It is used to treat a number of mental disorders including: major depressive disorder, anxiety, and less commonly psychosis, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and bipolar disorder. Other uses include: prevention of migraines and post herpetic neuralgia and less commonly insomnia.[6]
Side effects may include: seizures, an increased risk of suicide in those less than 25 years of age, urinary retention, and a number of heart issues. They should not be taken with MAO inhibitors or cisapride.[6] In the United States and Australia they are pregnancy category C which means that may cause problems during pregnancy.[7] Use during breastfeeding does not appear to be a problem.[8]
It was originally developed by Merck, first synthesised in 1960 and was first approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 7 April 1961.[9][10] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medication needed in a basic health system.[11]
Amitriptyline is used for a number of medical conditions including major depressive disorder (MDD) which is its only FDA-labeled indication.[1] This is also a TGA- and MHRA-labelled indication.[12][13] Some evidence suggests that amitriptyline may have superior efficacy compared to other antidepressants,[14] including the SSRIs,[15] although it is rarely used as a first-line antidepressant nowadays due to its high degree of toxicity in overdose and generally poorer tolerability than the newer antidepressants such as the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).[12]
It is TGA-labeled for migraine prophylaxis, as it is also is in cases of neuropathic pain disorders,[12] fibromyalgia[16] and nocturnal enuresis.[12][17] Amitriptyline is a popular off-label treatment for irritable bowel syndrome.[18] Although it is most frequently reserved for severe cases of abdominal pain in patients with IBS due to the fact that it needs to be taken regularly to work and has a generally poor tolerability profile, although a firm evidence base supports its efficacy in this indication.[18] Amitriptyline can also be used as an anticholinergic drug in the treatment of early stage Parkinson disease if depression also needs to be treated.[19]
Adverse effects include the following:[1][2][3][4][12][13]
The following are the known contraindications of amitriptyline.[4]
Amitriptyline is known to interact with:[3]
The symptoms and the treatment of an overdose are largely the same as for the other TCAs, including the presentation of serotonin syndrome and adverse cardiac effects. The British National Formulary notes that amitriptyline can be particularly dangerous in overdose,[13] thus it and other tricyclic antidepressants are no longer recommended as first line therapy for depression. Alternative agents, SSRIs and SNRIs are safer in overdose, though they are no more efficacious than TCAs. English folk singer, Nick Drake, died from an overdose of Tryptizol in 1974.
The possible symptoms of amitriptyline overdose include:[3]
The treatment of overdose is mostly supportive as there is no specific antidote for amitriptyline overdose.[3] Activated charcoal may reduce absorption if given within 1–2 hours of ingestion.[3] If the affected person is unconscious or have an impaired gag reflex a nasograstic tube may be used to deliver the activated charcoal in the stomach.[3] ECG monitoring for cardiac conduction abnormalities is essential and if one is found close monitoring of cardiac function is advised.[3] Body temperature should be regulated with measures such as heating blankets if necessary.[3] Likewise cardiac arrhythmias can be treated with propanolol and should heart failure occur digitalis may be used.[3] Cardiac monitoring is advised for at least five days after the overdose.[3] Amitriptyline increases the CNS depressant action but not the anticonvulsant action of barbiturates; therefore, an inhalation anaesthetic or diazepam is recommended for control of convulsions.[3] Dialysis is of no use due to the high degree of protein binding with amitriptyline.[3]

Amitriptyline acts primarily as a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, with strong actions on the serotonin transporter and moderate effects on the norepinephrine transporter.[31][32] It has negligible influence on the dopamine transporter and therefore does not affect dopamine reuptake, being nearly 1,000 times weaker on it than on serotonin.[32] It is metabolised to nortriptyline — a more potent and selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor — which may complement its effects on norepinephrine reuptake.[3]
Amitriptyline additionally functions as a 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, 5-HT3, 5-HT6, 5-HT7, α1-adrenergic, H1, H2,[33] H4,[34][35] and mACh receptor antagonist, and σ1 receptor agonist.[36][37][38][39] It has also been shown to be a relatively weak NMDA receptor negative allosteric modulator at the same binding site as phencyclidine.[40] Amitriptyline inhibits sodium channels, L-type calcium channels, and Kv1.1, Kv7.2, and Kv7.3 voltage-gated potassium channels, and therefore acts as a sodium, calcium, and potassium channel blocker as well.[41][42]
Recently, amitriptyline has been demonstrated to act as an agonist of the TrkA and TrkB receptors.[43] It promotes the heterodimerization of these proteins in the absence of NGF and has potent neurotrophic activity both in-vivo and in-vitro in mouse models.[43][44] These are the same receptors BDNF activates, an endogenous neurotrophin with powerful antidepressant effects, and as such this property may contribute significantly to its therapeutic efficacy against depression. Amitriptyline also acts as FIASMA (functional inhibitor of acid sphingomyelinase).[45]
Amitriptyline is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is extensively metabolised on first-pass through the liver.[3] It is metabolised mostly via CYP2D6, CYP3A4, CYP2C19-mediated N-demethylation into nortriptyline,[3] which is another tricyclic antidepressant in its own right.[46] It is 96% bound to plasma proteins, nortriptyline is 93-95% bound to plasma proteins.[3][47] It is mostly excreted in the urine (around 30-50%) as metabolites either free or as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates.[3] Small amounts are also excreted in faeces.[2]
Since amitriptyline is primarily metabolized via CYP2D6 and CYP2C19, genetic variations within the genes coding for these enzymes can affect its metabolism, leading to changes in the concentrations of the drug in the body.[48] Increased concentrations of amitriptyline may increase the risk for side effects, including anticholinergic and nervous system adverse effects, while decreased concentrations may reduce the drug's efficacy.[49][50][51]
Individuals can be categorized into different types of CYP2D6 or CYP2C19 metabolizers depending on which genetic variations they carry. These metabolizer types include poor metabolizers, intermediate metabolizers, extensive metabolizers and ultrarapid metabolizers. Most individuals (~77 - 92%) are extensive metabolizers,[51] and have "normal" metabolism of amitriptyline. Poor and intermediate metabolizers have reduced metabolism of the drug as compared to extensive metabolizers - patients with these metabolizer types have an increased probability of experiencing side effects. Ultrarapid metabolizers metabolize amitriptyline much faster than extensive metabolizers - patients with this metabolizer type may have a greater chance of experiencing pharmacological failure.[49][50][51]
The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) recommends avoiding amitriptyline in patients who are CYP2D6 ultrarapid or poor metabolizers, due to the risk for a lack of efficacy and side effects, respectively. The consortium also recommends considering an alternative drug not metabolized by CYP2C19 in patients who are CYP2C19 ultrarapid metabolizers. A reduction in starting dose is recommended for patients who are CYP2D6 intermediate metabolizers and CYP2C19 poor metabolizers. If use of amitriptyline is warranted, therapeutic drug monitoring is recommended to guide dose adjustments.[51] The Dutch Pharmacogenetics Working Group also recommends selecting an alternative drug or monitoring plasma concentrations of amitriptyline in patients who are CYP2D6 poor or ultrarapid metabolizers, and selecting an alternative drug or reducing initial dose in patients who are CYP2D6 intermediate metabolizers.[52]
