Can Exposure To Sun While Intake Of Amritriptyline Cause Any Problem?

I am taking 50mg of Amitriptyline a day and I go to a tanning bed about twice a week. I am going to Cancun for a week soon and plan to be on the beach a lot. I just noticed a sticker on my prescription bottle that says I should avoid prolonged exposure to sun while taking Amitriptyline. What is the reason for that?
