💊 Amitriptyline 10 mg – Relief for Nerve Pain & Depression
Description:
Amitriptyline 10 mg is a tricyclic antidepressant commonly prescribed to treat depression, anxiety, and certain types of chronic pain, particularly nerve-related conditions like neuropathy and fibromyalgia. It works by increasing the levels of certain natural chemicals (neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine) in the brain, which help improve mood and relieve pain.
