What is the best dose of amitryptaline for insomnia ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Variable: Doses of amitriptylene can vary, depending on the patient and other medications being taken too. I see that you're also taking Aripiprazole and mirtazepine, according to other information you supplied. Not knowing these other dosages, i suggest you talk with your own prescribing physician about an appropriate dose of amtriptylene in your case. Some do well with as little as 10-25mg.

It's relative and : Each individual has different response to the meds. Dose may vary from 10, 25, 50 up to 200 mg per dose.
