Inhibits reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine in the central nervous system, increasing their synaptic concentrations.

Mechanism Steps

1Amitriptyline binds to and inhibits serotonin transporter (SERT) and norepinephrine transporter (NET) on presynaptic neurons.
2Inhibition of reuptake increases synaptic concentrations of serotonin and norepinephrine.
3Enhanced serotonergic and noradrenergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system.
