I've been on amitriptyline for a year or so now, but funnily enough not for depression, it's for nerve pain (I'm on citalopram for the depression) anyway, I was taking 50mg a night in 10mg pills and the other day my doctor upped me to 60mg and prescribed me 50ml tablets and 10 mg so I wouldn't have to swallow loads of pills.
I've been taking it like this for two nights now and about an hour ago I woke up to a panic attack and my mind was racing. I felt like I was losing my grip on reality for a while there and I checked the side effects for amitriptyline finding this as one of the side effects.
Is it possible that because I've upped the dose by 10mg AND taken a 50mg dose in one pill, that it's reacting differently than when I was taking 50mg a night in 10mg pills? It seems unlikely, but I do feel they're to blame. Has anyone else experienced this with a medication they've taken for a long time?
