Does Elavil help with anxiety as well as depression, or just depression?

Elavil can indeed have benefits in treating anxiety, although it is primarily used for depression. It is recommended to adjust the dosage every 2-4 weeks, but each adjustment may take 4-8 weeks to fully take effect. Increasing Elavil too quickly can lead to side effects such as drowsiness and dizziness, so it is advised to increase the dosage slowly. In the meantime, other medications like Tylenol and Advil can be used to help manage pain until Elavil takes full effect. Your pharmacist can assist in monitoring and adjusting the dosage, and can suggest increasing the dosage to your doctor if the current dose is not providing relief.
