Tapering off 10mg amitriptyline, have taken 3 nights of half a pill, should i continue for longer or take more days worth still?

Psych drugs: this is a drug that affects chemicals in your brain. You are on a relatively small dose so you might tolerate a quick taper of three days, but I always recommend at least 2weeks to taper of this sort of drug so you don't get rebound symptoms that might affect your mood, among other things.
