Accepted Answer

Yes, Tryptomer (Amitriptyline) can cause heartburn as a side effect, especially when taken in the evening.

Other possible gastrointestinal side effects of Tryptomer include nausea, dry mouth, and constipation.

To alleviate nighttime heartburn, consider taking Tryptomer in the morning or with food.

You can also try antacids or acid reducers, like ranitidine, to help manage heartburn symptoms.

Consult your doctor or prescribing physician to discuss alternative dosing schedules or medications.

They can help you balance the benefits of Tryptomer with its side effects.
