Specializes in Neurology

Hard to say: Amitriptilyn is fairly anticholinergic. It might give you a dry mouth, elevated heart rate, blurred vision when reading especially with a dose large enough to replace the 200 mg of zoloft (sertraline). Discuss this with your doctor.

Dr Jassey and another doctor agreed
