Amitriptyline is not entirely discontinued but its usage has declined due to the availability of newer antidepressants that tend to have fewer side effects and improved safety profiles. It is still prescribed, particularly for certain conditions like chronic pain or migraines, but its use as a first-line treatment for depression has decreased. The decision to use or not use amitriptyline is often based on individual patient needs and potential side effects.
