Answers:
Anxiety is a side effect of trepiline (elavil, amitriptyline) and the doctor should be notified immediately that you are experiencing this side effect.
Please note that he may wish for you to continue the medication for 3 weeks to see if the side effect passes but this will depend on the level of anxiety you are experiencing. However, he needs to make this determination. Do not be surprised if he decides to try something else as he will be looking out for your best interests. Most times, with side effects, the medication is switched.
