Best Answer: Normal doses of the drug are metabolzed by the liver then the by-products are excreted in the urine. Its elimination half-life varies from 10 to 50 hours, with an average of 15 hours.One-half to one-third of a normal dose is excreted within 24 hours.Using that info, she should be drug-free anywhere from 6 to 20 days. That is of course if her liver function OK. She will probably have residual nervous system effects for some time. Hard to predict.r. said it will take some time but didn't have any idea how long. Her speech is still slurred and every fifteen minutes or so she goes to sleep, it reminds me of narcolepsy, she'll just collapse. It's been 2 wks. now. Does anyone know if this may cause brain damage.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. Amitriptyline HCl is an antidepressant with sedative effects. Its mechanism of action in man is not known. It is not a monoamine oxidase inhibitor and it does not act primarily by stimulation of the central nervous system.Amitriptyline inhibits the membrane pump mechanism responsible for uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin in adrenergic and serotonergic neurons.adioactivity of the plasma was practically negligible, although significant amounts of radioactivity appeared in the urine by 4 to 6 hours and one-half to one-third of the drug was excreted within 24 hours. Amitriptyline is metabolized by N-demethylation and bridge hydroxylation in man, rabbit, and rat.
