Hi all,
After seeing my doctor last week, I asked about trying a different kind of medication because my anxiety has got worse of late.
The doctor said it is best to stay on my Amitriptyline as the other medications, which I tried gave me horrid side effects, which he took me off them.
He said I'm on a low dose of Amitriptyline (50mg), which I was on for headaches, caused from anxiety, which the starting dose for anxiety on these is around 70mg to 150mg.
We talked and he said I could go from 50mg to 70mg then to 90mg and gave me a choice of splitting them up through the day or carry on taking them in the evening.
I tried 20mg in the morning, 20mg in the afternoon and 50mg in the evening, which I got tired on them and decided to take them in the evening. like I have for the past year.
The two questions I have:
1) How long would it take for 70mg to kick-in, even though I have been on 50mg for a year?
2) Taking them in the evening, does it stay in your system the next day and l help me get through the next day?
Thank you,
Red
