Has anyone any experience of coming off amitrytiline? I have been coming off it really slowly under dr supervision but since stopping it completely things have been happening. My blood pressure which has always been completely normal has shot up and my pulse rate is 117bpm (and i think it should only be 60 -80). My heartbeat feels really jumpy and i'm having frequent shortness of breath. I've never suffered with anxiety before but i'm wondering if the amitrytiline was keeping me calm without knowing it and now i'm off it i am having anxiety problems?
