I would go to your neurologist - not your PCP - and discuss these new symptoms.
The ones you are describing sound like panic attacks. They sound like the kind I had when I would drive, and I got a prescription for propanolol that was quick acting. I didn't need to take it for very long and it helped.
If nortyrptiline (sp?) is working for sleep and mood than stay on it-but do discuss it with a neurologist first! it is a very low dosage, 25mg. Sleep is so key to healing and you are still in the early stages of your recovery.
Best of luck!
