What to Do If You Forget to Take Amitriptyline?
If you accidentally forget to take amitriptyline, make sure to take it as early as you remember. If it is near the time for the next dose, then you can leave out this missed dosage and then take the next dose as usual. If you have to work with machinery or tools, cycle, or drive, it is better to skip the missed dosage and take the next one as usual. This is because the medication often causes drowsiness. You should never take an additional dosage to compensate for the missed one. Also, do not take two dosages at the same time. If you often forget to take amitriptyline, consider setting an alarm for reminding. [6]
