Amitriptyline's half-life is 12-25 hours for the mother drug and 36 hours for the metabolite, nortriptyline. Whatever time you take it, there will always be some sedation in your system. Especially with low doses you'll probably be able to adjust to it. Reaction time may be delayed though with antihistamines. But I know people who've done lots of driving while under the influence of benzo's - without ever getting involved in an accident. YMMV.

For me, getting a driver's license is very problematic while being on meds that have an indication of possibly influencing driving in a negative way. Our Dutch Central Bureau of Driveability (free translation) will throw up all kinds of fences even if you have just a HISTORY of taking meds. While, once you got a driver's license, you can take any legal medication you want. Although medication might play a negative role in jurisdiction if you would cause an accident.
