What Causes Anxiety And Depression After Taking Amitriptyline?
My daughter has been taking 25mg of Amitriptilyne for 2 years for nausea. It works great for this, in fact, if she ever misses a dose she throws up 2 days later like clockwork. She has been battling depression and anxiety for 2 years as well. She has never seen a physician for this, but sees the school psychologist and she has recently suggested we get more medical help for the situation and it is getting more severe. I just found out today that Amitriptyline is also used for depression. Could the Amitryptiline be causing these psych issues?

Hello,
Antietam depression is not side effects of Amitriptyline.
So, in my opinion, the symptoms of your daughter are not related to the use of Amitriptyline.
I suggest to consult a psychiatrist for further evaluation and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
