Hi - I have been prescribed Amitripyline today for Anxiety and Insomnia. I was prescribed Citalopram but was to anxious about the side effects so the doctor has given me these instead.

They sound a lot easier to take. She has given me the tablets in 25mg doses and said the max I should take each night is 75mg.

I'm thinking of starting on 25mg and seeing how I feel.

Just interested to find out if 25mg is enough to help me sleep and help with anxiety or would starting on 50 be better?

Thanks
