Just starting on 10mg amitriptyline for terrible constant anxiety and panic attacks ive tried allsorts of AD to no avail I just want to feel better I suppose I'm a little scared sad I'm already dizzy and off balance due to the anxiety and don't want to feel worse how long does it take for this med to work for anxiety and how long before I can up the dose as I don't think 10mg will touch the sides for my anxiety thanks in advance
