What Is The Anticipated Dosage Of Amitriptyline For A Week ?

Had a drug test today at work (in the UK) - I don’t know if they test for Tricyclic antidepressants but am concerned if they do. I have taken small dosages of Amitriptyline 6 days & 7days ago and 10 & 11 days ago. Each dose was 25mg (100mg total) – how worried should I be?
