I've been taking desipramine (TCA) for awhile, and was never really told about any danger (except of course in overdose, in which case, the tricyclics can be quite dangerous). It helps me sleep at night (though I take a little trazodone too for that). I believe that with most tricyclics, docs can do blood tests to check whether the med is in a therapeutic range (I had them done for the first few months until everything was adjusted right). I've only had mild anxiety though. I'm not sure how tricyclics affect anxiety.
Good luck
