Elavil, also known as amitriptyline, is a tricyclic antidepressant primarily used to treat depression and certain pain conditions. It does not bind to opiate receptors; instead, it primarily affects neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. While it may have some analgesic properties, its mechanism of action is distinct from that of opioid medications.
