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.
