A member asked:

Can pregnant women take elavil (amitriptyline)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: There are few medications which have been extensively studied in pregnant women. Any medication use during pregnancy should be discussed with your doctor. There are situations when the benefits of taking a medication may outweigh any potential risks of either side effects or the risk of no treatment.
