A member asked:

I have been taking amitriptyline (10 mg) at nighttime for ic pain and help with sleep the last 31 days. will missing one night's dose be a problem?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Probably not: There may be enough in your system to have a fairly steady state. However, don't keep missing them.

Probably not: But why are you missing a dose? Did you run out of your prescription? Hoping you can get this refilled tomorrow, especially if it's been helping you.
