A member asked:
I've taken pamelor (nortriptyline) for anxiety/panic for 5 weeks. felt great on 50mg, few days on 75mgs but feel more anxious. does an increased dose = less anxiety?

Not necessarily: Adjusting medication doses is individual, and your doctor will appreciate knowing what you're experiencing. The 50mg dose may be just right for you, but might not have been recognized until the additional 25 mg was added (and you got more anxious). Please work with your physician on this.
