Dr prescribed amitriptyline and prescription meds have markings "2103" with the wing-shaped "V" on the other side. Tablet is round and light brownish in color.
Is amitriptyline hydrochloride the same as amitriptyline?

Its the same thing, the hydrochloride is just the rest of the chemical name. Just think of it as its last name.

Yes. The hydrochloride is just the salt form of amitriptyline. It'll deliver the stated amount of amitriptyline. See: https://www.drugs.com/article/pharmaceutical-salts.html
