Amitriptyline = yes. Doxepin = no.

What drugs decrease lower esophageal sphincter pressure and worsen GERD?
Anticholinergic drugs, antispasmodic drugs, many anti-histamine and antiemetic drugs, tricyclic antidepressants, phenothiazine neuroleptics, nitrates and calcium channel blockers. If possible these should be reduced in dose or discontinued.
It's kind of like headaches: sometimes anti-depressants help prevent migraines and headaches/sometimes they exacerbate them.
Best regards,
Jim
