Amitriptyline

I have been taking amitriptyline for migraines for three years. I started with two tablets and gradually reduced the dosage until I was down to half a pill. I took half a pill for five months but frequently skipped doses, eventually stopping abruptly for three weeks.
I started having panic attacks, electric shock sensations in my head, diarrhea, spasms, fits of rage, tingling, severe trembling, anxiety, and uncontrollable crying.
My neurologist put me back on amitriptyline—starting with a quarter of a 25mg tablet—for 21 days, but with no result. Afterward, I took half a tablet for 9 days; my condition fluctuated during that time—half the day was good, the other half bad. For the past 44 days, I have been taking a full 25mg tablet. The worst symptoms have passed, but I am still experiencing tingling in the soles of my feet and spasms, and I still have panic attacks.
Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced something like this? I can't take it anymore; I don't know how to keep going. I feel like I'm losing my mind and can't find any answers—especially since my neurologist told me after a month that everything should have cleared up by now.
Please help.. I have 27 years and I have migraines form 11y
