7Who Should Avoid Amitriptyline?
Amitriptyline is generally safe for most adults. Young people around 16 and 17 years old can also take it for low mood or depression. However, avoid giving this medication to children under 12 years old as the FDA has not approved this practice. People with certain diseases and health conditions should avoid taking amitriptyline. These include heart issues, a history of drug allergies, liver problems, porphyria, glaucoma, epilepsy, type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Make sure to inform your doctor if you have any of these conditions to make suitable treatment plan for your needs. [9]
