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.

A TSH level of 9 with normal T4 and T3 levels typically indicates subclinical hypothyroidism; treatment with levothyroxine (T4) may be considered, especially if symptoms are present, but the decision to start treatment should be based on a thorough evaluation by an endocrinologist or healthcare provider, considering factors like symptoms, age, and overall health
