I 've been prescribed 25mg of amitriptyline at nite I 've started waking at 6 then the over thinking starts until I get myself in a state the doctor upped my side to 35mg but it gave me chronic indigestion as I have a hernia I just wondered if I took 25mg b 4 bed and 10mg in a morning would it space me out or would it make me feel calmer so I can go out

    Please don't take it during the day, it Will cause drowsiness, and makes you feel very tiered. Its only safe during the night. Please do not drive if you have to take it during the day.

    I agree with Zara, only take at night.  Amit affected my stomach too, I found having lacto free milk and gluten free bread plus peppermint tea helped alot.
