Do you think it would help me now

[Humly]

I have taken this medication in the past. I had tooth/jaw pain which had been going on for quite a few months and I was really getting upset and anxious about it. In all honesty, I should have told the doc that I was suffering from anxiety but I went in and talked about the pain and glossed over the torment I was feeling about it all. I think it did help in that I calmed down after taking it for a while and didnt stay on it for long and had no significant side effects. Now I am really anxious and upset over another issue - not health related - which is probably not going to be resolved in the near future. I know I am totally over reacting to the situation as well.

My question is, would amitriptyline help me to calm down a bit. I am reluctant to take anything else such as citalopram as I am worried it might make me worse initially and I havent taken it before and I know amitriptyline is supposed to relax you. I know it is an antidepressant but this is anxiety so is it worth asking for. Help.

Hi
I think it's best to discuss you issues with your Dr and take her advice.

Thanks for the quick reply. I cant decide whether to go to the docs or not. I want to just sort this out on my own but dont know if I can.

I've made an appointment for this morning. Might as well go and get it over with.

Well the doc did not want to give me anything at all as it is too early just yet (a week I have been feeling like this) so I am no further forward. The amitriptyline I had before were given for pain so he wouldnt give them to me again anyway. Said give it time and I came away with diazapam only because I cried. So its wait and see.
