Amitriptyline Side Effects:
In patients who have
shown prior hypersensitivity to it. It should not be given
concomitantly with a MAO inhibiting compound. Hyperpyretic
crises, severe convulsions, and deaths have occurred in patients
receiving tricyclic antidepressant and MAO inhibiting drugs
simultaneously. When it is desired to substitute amitriptyline
for a MAO inhibitor, a minimum of 14 days should be allowed to
elapse after the latter is discontinued. Amitriptyline should
then be initiated cautiously with gradual increase in dosage
until optimum response is achieved.
This drug is not recommended for use during the acute recovery
phase following myocardial infarction and in the presence of
acute congestive heart failure.
Precautions on using Amitriptyline Medication
The potency of
amitriptyline is such that addition of other antidepressant
drugs generally does not result in any additional therapeutic
benefit. Untoward reactions have been reported after the
combined use of antidepressant agents having varying modes of
activity. Accordingly, combined use of amitriptyline and other
antidepressant drugs should be undertaken only with due
recognition of the possibility of potentiation and with a
thorough knowledge of the pharmacology of both drugs. There has
been no reports of untoward events when patients receiving
amitriptyline were changed immediately to protriptyline or vice
versa.
When amitriptyline is used to treat the depressive component of
schizophrenia, activation or aggravation of existing psychotic
manifestation may occur. Likewise, manic depressive patients may
experience hypomanic or manic episodes and hyperactive or
agitated patients may become overstimulated. Paranoid delusions,
with or without associated hostility, may be exaggerated. A
reduction in dose or discontinuation of amitriptyline may be
indicated and administration of a neuroleptic such as a
phenothiazine, be considered under these circumstances.
Seriously depressed patients should be carefully supervised. The
possibility of suicide in depressed patients remains during
treatment. Patients should not have access to large quantities
of this drug during treatment.
Discontinue the drug several days before elective surgery if
possible.
