Yes: That is the correct starting dose (it may need to be increased in the future depending on how it is working). I usually recommend taking it about 30 min before bedtime, but some patients just take it prior to going to bed. It doesn't have to be exact unless you suffer from reflux/heartburn, then take it a little earlier before you lie down (30-60 min).

Amitriptyline: Amitriptyline comes in various doses and used for different conditions. 25 mg at or close to bedtime is not an unusual dose. Some prefer to start at 10 mg and nitrate upwards as tolerated to avert untoward effects.

Yes, this dose is OK: This medication is usually prescribed for insomnia. It is also useful for preventing migraine and boosting mood. Your doctor should have written in the prescription what time to take your medicine. I suggest 1/2 hr to 1 hr prior to bedtime. Don't take the medication if you have to drive or do any tasks that require alertness as it will make you sleepy and groggy. I also suggest avoiding alcohol.
