I have been taking 75mg of amitriptyline for 2 week gradually upped the dose. 2 days ago I was told to start taking 25mg during the day. I was fine with the 75mg but 2 days after I took the extra 25mg during the day I had a bad reaction. Last night I only took 1 tab as I wasn't comfortable taking 2 to make it up to 75mg for the day after all that happened. I have now just took my 75mg 24 hours after my last dose and I'm not panicking that the same thing will happen again as with the bad reaction I had a really bad feeling that something really bad was going to happen and I was going to burst into tears. Is anyone else on the 75mg dose or more and are OK too just for my peace of mind x

As a rule with medication they start you off on a lower dose and increase it over time. But if you think you were doing good on a certain dose and a higher dose was too much for you, let your doctor know this. The higher dose might be too high for you. The doctor might simply keep you on the dose you were doing good with.
I think it is not not taking medication that is causing this but your mindset, or maybe the medication is not working entirely. I think you should see a therapist about your concerns.
