Epavil.... Elavil? I couldn't find anything about it being in the same class as lithium... but here's what it says...


QUOTE
Indications

In the drug management of depressive illness.

Amitriptyline may be used in depressive illness of psychotic or endogenous nature and in selected patients with neurotic depression. Endogenous depression is more likely to be alleviated than are other depressive states. Amitriptyline, because of its sedative action, is also of value in alleviating the anxiety component of depression.

As with other tricyclic antidepressants, amitriptyline may precipitate hypomanic episodes in patients with bipolar depression. These drugs are not indicated in mild depressive states and depressive reactions.


google it :)

good luck!
Cat
