A member asked:
Does amitriptyline lower crp or esr levels? what about ldh levels? i take 10mg at bedtime and all of these tests are normal. could it mask these tests
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Amitriptyline doesn't do this. The c-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate aren't really very helpful tests, but are adjuncts to other labs and the physical exam and history.
