I am sorry to cut into your thread, but I have some questions for you about Anafranil, if you don't mind.
My doctor recently prescribed Anafranil for me, but I haven't yet started it. I have received a lot of good and reassuring information from others on the board about it's effectiveness, which I greatly appreciate. But, I wanted to know from one other person who has taken the drug before the following: how bad the side effects were; did they subside; did you experience any cognitive impairment (e.g., memory loss, slowed thinking); did your energy levels improve; and did you experience any apathy, lethargy, or a lack of motivation? I am to start at 25 mg and a week later go up to 50 mg. I want to stop being afraid of the medicine and start taking it because I can't stand this depression anymore.
Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated. I know I am being neurotic about this, but I have never been on a TCA before.
Thanks, and again I apoligize for highjacking your thread with my neurotic questions.
Take care.
Tamara
