What Causes Numbness In Lips, Nose And Head While On Amitriptyline?

Unlikely
Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
Those sensations that you mention are not among typical side effects of amitriptyline, although some abnormal sensations can at times manifest with it rarely. Had they appeared after the initiation of the drug perhaps it could have been thought about amitriptyline being at least partially responsible, but since you mention them to have been present before already I think it unlikely for it to be the cause.
That being said I wonder why you were given amitriptyline. If it was for anxiety (as those symptoms might suggest) then personally at your age I would have preferred other drugs with less side effects and similar efficacy like the SSRI group of drugs.
I remain at your disposal for further questions
