amitriptyline and Long Sleeper Syndrome

amitriptyline has been researched along with Long Sleeper Syndrome in 43 studies

Amitriptyline: Tricyclic antidepressant with anticholinergic and sedative properties. It appears to prevent the re-uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin at nerve terminals, thus potentiating the action of these neurotransmitters. Amitriptyline also appears to antagonize cholinergic and alpha-1 adrenergic responses to bioactive amines.
amitriptyline : An organic tricyclic compound that is 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d][7]annulene substituted by a 3-(dimethylamino)propylidene group at position 5.

"Within the conditions of the double-blind trial, it appears that long-acting amitriptyline (Diffucaps), given at the dosage of 25 mg at the evening meal, is more active and better tolerated than a dosage of 40 mg of ordinary amitriptyline at bedtime in depressive sleep disorders."2.64[Double-blind comparison between amitriptyline Diffucaps and ordinary amitriptyline in sleep disorders of depressive origin].
