This is a great question for your sister's doctor or Pharmacist, who knows all the other medications (prescription and over-the-counter) that your sister is taking, in case there are some drug interactions (I assume she is being treated for her other conditions?). The only reported side effects of Amitriptyline (from the list you mentioned) is problem urinating, but not specifically UTIs (urinary tract infections), nothing related to vaginal itching or gallstones.
I wonder if there is not an underlying condition that your sister has, that is causing all of these other conditions, as it is unlikely that this medication would actually create new health conditions. Has she had blood tests done, to check on some of these symptoms that she is experiencing? It is more likely that there may be something that can be detected in a diagnostic test that can be attributed to causing, or being associated with, her other conditions (and are likely treatable...gallstones, vaginal infections and UTIs are very, very common and easily treated).
I'm sorry she is experiencing all of these conditions, and I'm also wondering if she has been diagnosed with all of these by different doctors? What is the timeline of all of these conditions/symptoms occurring?
