I'm taking 35mg of amitriptyline. do i need to be concerned or discontinue before having a mole removed (and biopsied) from my back?

Not at all: Talk to your doctor. In my experience it is not necessary to stop this medication under the circumstances you have described. Best wishes for a good outcome with your biopsy!
