> Yes, I experienced the same effect of increased heart rate at low dose imipramine. Fortunately it didn't get any worse at higher dosages.
Ok thanks!!! And did you had any other side-effects? Like feeling weird...out of your body... goosebumps on the head...and feeling isolated, not at all sociable and lazy? That's what I experience since monday and I can told you that I don't like that... And also, each time you increase the dosage, did you had worse side-effects that last for a long time???
I know, I ask a lot of questions... but I just want to be sure I do the good choice... since I really need to get ride of those panic attacks and the panic disorder... no other meds succeed to make it possible, just the Paxil, who work 4 years and stop working for no reason after...
That's strange how the things happen. At first, I was diagnosticed with panic disorder + agoraphobia and panic attacks... with time, Doctors and PDoc change their minds and told me it was social anxiety disorder... and with the time, I ended up with tons of comorbidities (body dismorphic, bulemia, GAD, lack of motivation and energy... call dys???? don'T know the word in englosh sorry...) and an addiction to the benzo drugs... that I continue to use even if they don't work relly well.. even 4 mg of Rivotril can stop me doing panic attacks or prevent them...
For a little while, the SAD was the main problem... I had only situationnal panic attacks (public speach at the university)... but when I was in a public space, walking on the streets or in a shopping center, I was feeling really bad, but without doing panic attacks... I was just feeling watched by everyone and judge...
Now, it's seem that I don't care about what the peoples think about me... the problem move to the panic disorder again... strange no? ...
That's seem that the more comobordities you have, and the less chance you have to find the good med or combo of meds to help you...
After trying tons of off-label drugs (Mirapex, Clonidine, Beta blocker, Neurontin, Lyrica, all the newer anti-psychotics, Topamax...), and all the older MAOI's or the newer stuff, even the Pristiq, it's seem that nothing can help really...
They always claim that doing a CBT is the more effective treatment... but doing a CBT when your mental state is not under control is really hard... it's like working for nothing...
Anyway, i'm out of subject again...
Thanks again and if you want, share more of your Imipramine experience with me and also why you use it... if it was effective or not... and the kind of side-efects you had on it... maybe it will help me to reduce my stress in regard of this med...
