It is generaly accepted that 150mg per day is the minimum effective dose for endrogenous depression, with some people requiring upto 300 (usualy extremely ill hospitalised patients) but 600mg per day is way over the top.

Was a doctor prescribing this much, or were you taking this dose of your own volition?

I would stop the amitriptyline, and see your doctor today for an ECG, physical, blood level estimations and the discussion of alternatives
