Amitriptyline and Medicare

Keep in mind that if you take Amitriptyline, that medicines are not covered by your Medicare Supplement, but by your Part D, Prescription Drug coverage.

Amitriptyline (Elavil, Tryptizol, Laroxyl) is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). It is the most widely used TCA and is perhaps also the most effective against depression.

Amitriptyline, under the brand name Elavil, was developed by Merck and approved by the FDA on April 7, 1961 for the treatment of major depression in the United States. It has seen widespread usage throughout the world ever since.
