I have tachycardia syndrome that is under relatively good control with beta blocker. i am starting amitriptyline for migraines. is it safe w/rapid hr?

Consult cardiologist: Amitriptyline tends to slow the heart beat but can also cause irregular heart rhythms. If you have a cardiologist i would recommend you speaking with him/ her before you begin therapy with amitriptyline.
