anxiety ? experiences? amitriptyline?

hi all i have been suffering with bad anxiety also occasional depression been to see dr who gave me beta blockers which didn’t work then hes just started me on amitriptyline which i only started last night i took 25 mg this morning i feel drowsy and like i can’t be bothered i don’t want to take tablets that make me like that so thinking of going back to ask for prozac instead or going drug free any suggestions please ?

Amitriptyline is a very common med for people who experience low mood with anxiety, and generally due to the anxiety aspect can be more effective than an SSRI. It can also be used for pain relief. I would recommend that you give it a couple of days to settle into your system and see how drowsy you are then.. Meds take up to 3 weeks to begin to reach effectiveness.. so stick with it as the majority of people have great success with this medication.

Exercise and healthy living can increase mood and increase ‘happy’ hormones which can be really beneficial…
