Suicidality and Antidepressant Drugs:
Antidepressants increased the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in children, adolescents, and young adults in short-term studies of major depressive disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of amitriptyline hydrochloride tablets or any other antidepressant in a child, adolescent, or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need. Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24; there was a reduction in risk with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults aged 65 and older. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. Amitriptyline hydrochloride is not approved for use in pediatric patients. (See WARNINGS: Clinical Worsening and Suicide Risk, PRECAUTIONS: Information for Patients, and PRECAUTIONS: Pediatric Use)

The tablets contain amitriptyline hydrochloride and are available in several strengths, including 75 mg. The product contains inactive ingredients and film-coating colorants listed on the label.
The label includes important warnings about suicidal thoughts and behavior, especially early in treatment or when the dose is changed. It also warns about serotonin syndrome, drug interactions, and the need for close monitoring in patients with certain medical conditions.

- Tell the prescriber about all medicines being taken, including antidepressants, triptans, linezolid, methylene blue, lithium, tramadol, buspirone, St. John's Wort, and cimetidine.
