Hello list: My neurologist prescribed .25 mg of Amitryptiline at bedtime, or I'm routinely rattling around until 2:00 a.m. or later. Therapeutic dosage for depression is 250 mg., if I recall correctly. It influences serotonin levels. The first time I took it, I was waiting to get sleepy...then it was 5:00 a.m. I don't take it consistently, perhaps I should. plmaddux wrote: > > Hi Nigel, > > I am interested in your use of Amitriptyline, I need something for my > insomnia.
