What was dose of Amitriptyline prescribed. I generally start that at 10 mg if that makes you sleepy cut the tablet in half.
Give it few days and somnolence clears.

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
