I am a 23 year old male. I've been suffering with rashes over my body specially my back and my chest area. I went to a dermatologist yesterday and she prescribed be a cetrizine tablet, a amitriptyline tablet and a lotion Today I found out that amitriptyline is a anti-depressent agent. So can it be taken for my problem or am I getting wrong treatment?
