Hi,

I have been on amitriptyline for several years (30mg), which if i'm honest has made me a better person. Trouble is, today at work somebody told me that taking anti-depresents can cause kidney, heart or eye probelms, which has got me a little worried.

I asked my doctor months back if it was safe and he said yes, you can take it for years, even for life as it is safe and a common used drug and anything under 50mg is classed as a low dose.

Any advice would be welcomed as I don't want to come off them yet, for myself and my family.
