My Dr. suggested taking the 20 mg of amitriptyline at around 6 or 7 pm. I normally go to sleep between 9 and 10pm. This way works so I am not groggy in the morning. I am taking Benfotiamine 150mg, R-ALA 100mg, and acetyl L-Carnitine 400mg, fish oil, magnesium citrate, D3 2000iu, B12.
I still do wake up from pain, but not as much as before I began taking amitriptyline and vitamins. I hope this helps you!
