POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION 
Posology 

For oral administration only 

Therapy should be started with a low
dosage and increased gradually, according to 
the clinical response and any evidence of intolerance. 

_Adults_ -initial dosage: Usually 75mg a day in
divided doses (or a single dose at night). 
If necessary, this may be increased to a total of 150mg a
day, the additional doses 
being given in the late afternoon and/or at bedtime. The
sedative effect is usually 
rapidly apparent. The antidepressant activity may be seen
within three or four days or 
may take up to 30 days to develop adequately. 

_Adults_ - maintenance dosage: Usually 50 - 100mg a day. For
maintenance therapy, 
the total dosage may be given in a single dose preferably in the
evening or at bedtime. 
When satisfactory improvement has been reached, dosage should be
reduced to the 
lowest amount that will maintain relief of symptoms. Maintenance
therapy should be 
continued for three months or longer to lessen the chances
of relapse. 

_Children_: Due to lack of clinical experience amitriptyline
is not
