*Hi.

I am after some advice regarding Amitriptyline.

I was diagnosed a few years ago as having a cataracts forming, at the same time I started Amitriptyline, a few months later.

I noticed Amitriptyline can possibly make a cataract develope at a much quicker pace while taking it than if you aren't.

Does anyone have any input on this?

Taking Amitriptyline, my concern is it worsening an existing cataracts causing it to need treatment much sooner.

Any advice is welcomed.*
