increase elavil

Recently, I felt extremly depressed so my doctor told me to increase elavil to 15 mg, teh fisrt three days were fine, but after than i started feeling panic attacks and high anxiety. (Panic attacks and anxiety are mine main issue)
is this a temporary side ffects, or the higher dosage is not good for me. Any advise?

Any time you increase your meds you can also have increased anxiety. This is common.Some times it can take a few weeks for your body to adjust to the new dose.
