Could it be the Trepiline? ## Based on my research, I've determined that Trepiline is the cause of your symptoms, as these two drugs have no interactions with each other. Side effects of Trepiline (Amitriptyline) can include: -blurred vision -swelling of the face and tongue -yellowing of the skin or eyes All of these are considered to be severe side effects that should be reported to your doctor immediately.
