The corrected spelling of this medication is Amitriptyline.

It is most commonly used to treat depression, although it is also used to treat bed wetting in children, as well as migraine treatment and prevention (although not as common).

Side effects may include weight gain, dry mouth, loss of appetite, drowsiness, muscle stiffness, nausea, constipation, nervousness, dizziness, blurred vision, urinary retention and insomnia.

Some rare side effects include tinnitus, hypotension, mania, psychosis, anticholinergic effects, heart block, arrhythmias, lip and mouth ulcers, extrapyramidal symptoms, depression, and hepatic toxicity.

You can read more about this medication on the page for Amitriptyline Details.
