Hi. welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have read your question and here is my advice.
Omeprazole should be taken on empty stomach while Ecitalopram be taken after meal/ breakfast.
While Amytryptyline better be taken at night as that causes sleep .
So Omeprazole before breakfast , Ecitalopram after breakfast and Amytryptyline before bed would be a better plan.
Hopes I have answered your question.
I will be glad to answer any further question about this.
Kind Regards
Dr Rahman
