Dizziness effect of Anafranil

In 2010 I was diagnosed with narcolepsy with severe cataplexy, I started to take 200mg of Modafinil daily and 10mg of Citalopran, the first few weeks it also helped, unfortunately I had to increase the dosages quickly, so after one year at a dose of 800mg daily (far too much) Modafinil and 20mg Citalopran was. Dan got me 20mg of Anafranil, from which I got severe side effects, to the suicide attempt, I guess from it only. In the meantime, I take 2 x 2.25ml Xyrem overnight and 200mg Modafinil + 20mg CitaloQ during the day, unfortunately now my dosies have to be increased again as it just does not have the desired effect on me, but I have read a lot that it is like a miracle cure in other people. Side effects that I had: Modafinil – high blood pressure, dizziness (start time), sweat dehydration (start time), pharyngitis Anafranil – depression, suicidal thoughts to the attempt, personality changes (aggressive), mood swings, 25kg gaining weight For this I take painkillers for years, since my body is already very suffered under the cataplexy, so I have daily headache, back pain and just bruised places the pain …. I take alternating Iboprfofen 600, Novaminsulfon 500 and Dolormin extra, otherwise I get stomach problems ….

At the beginning of treatment with Anafranil, there were initial difficulties, I was on the drug in the clinic set and since I had a panic disorder, was started with 25 mg. The first day was a catastrophe, high blood pressure fluctuations, tachycardia, tremors, circulatory problems, nightmares, drowsiness and cognitive disorders. The next day it got much better, on the 5th day the first increase to 50 mg, again I reacted so strongly to the drug, because the side effects were much better the following day, that was also acceptable. Some time later, I was retarded at 150 mg and the further increases were less problematic. I have been taking the medication for some time now, the constant tachycardia, heavy sweats, hot flashes and dry mouth died after a week. With the blood pressure / circulatory problems, I have to live well, as well as with occasional shaky hands, increased sweating, slight mood swings and constipation. Anafranil helps a lot, I can only recommend this medicine! Because of the depression I could not do anything anymore, I could not eat, just sleep and I did not get any clear until the evening, plus the bad panic attacks and the constant fear. Since I live now like with these relatively harmless side effects. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder was also successfully treated with Anafranil 15 years ago. I still have a slight control compulsion, but I have a good grip.

Weight gain (45 kg in 8 years), loss of libido, severe sweating on the back during least activity (since Anafranil), severe tiredness, lack of concentration, temporary dizziness, water retention, hypertension, increased liver fat levels (since Anafranil)
