Amitryptilene, spinal fusion and back pain

I've been chatting with our company medical advisor (a non-pilot) about back pain and sciatica problems and he has mentioned the possibility of a low dose (circa 10mg/day) of this anti-depressant as a short term trial against pain and associated sleeplessness.
Any ideas as to what the UK CAA are likely to say? I'd hate to start something like this and then find out that the advisor/doc had prescribed something on the no-no list.
Glucosamine Sulphate and honey are not banned substances. I've already checked!
