No.: Amitriptylene is a tricyclics antidepressant, used at low doses for chronic pain and insomnia, and at higher doses for depression. It should not contribute to low blood sugar if taken as directed.

Depends: If you have diabetes and your sugar is low, take less medication. If you don't have diabetes, then you probably don't have true hypoglycemia. What you're experiencing is an elevated post-meal glucose due to your obesity and Insulin resistance. It's a normal response of your body returning your sugar to normal, but it causes symptoms. The cure is diet, exercise and weight loss not eating more.
