No, amitriptyline is not an opiate. It is a tricyclic antidepressant that, these days, is more often used as an adjunctive (helper) treatment in pain management. It appears to reduce problems with chronic pain and neuropathic pain, and may be helpful in sleep. However, it is not an opiate, and is not a drug screened during routine pre-employment or legal drug tests.
