Depression medication for long time

2023-05-23 05:42:25
My mother(55 years) has been taking Amitryn C(12.5mg) tablet for more than 5 years for her anxiety and depression. Is it safe to continue this medicine for such a long time? Will this medicine put a bad impact on her liver and kidney functions? She is Diabetic and Hypertensive and had a hysterectomy 5 years back.
