A member asked:
How long does it take before amitriptyline would begin working ? its only been a few days, it now i feel kind of lethargic and just blah ?

It is not easy to answer your question because we do not know what dose you are taking at this time and for what condition. The feeling you have right now is the side effect of this medication. It takes weeks and gradually increased dose to get the expected effect provided you are able to tolerate the side effects. Nowadays this medication is not frequently used for behavior problems.
