Do you get anxious on trepiline?


Question:
Up to 50mg in 3 weeks time for fibro. Take Venlor XR as well for 8 months already that works great. Does trepiline(Elavil) make you anxious and for how long ?

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.

It usually takes 2 to 3 weeks for you to feel the full benefits of this medication. Please notify your doctor asap.
