Fatigue effect of Anafranil

I used Anafranil for cataplexy, the cataplexy has largely gone, but my personality has changed a lot. I became: -Agressive -Important -Lost -Vergesslich -Müdde I have increased 25kg I guess only from the drug

since I take the drug especially suffering from fatigue, lack of concentration and gedaechtnissprobleme, but also slight incontinence. Nevertheless, I am very happy that I do not have to live without, because otherwise I was very sociable, sentimental and easily irritable. In the meantime, I tried to sell anafranil, which was followed by severe circulatory and perceptual disturbances. By the way, I am a teenager and belong to a group of patients that is not recommended. My doctor said I should still try it, for which I’m grateful to him.

I have been taking Anafranil 75 mg Retard for 2 months now and since then I am suffering from numerous side effects and to the usual migraine attacks, it does not work yet, but the side effects are horrible.

This drug should be like my previous preventive tablets, which I had from Germany and had very well tolerated and even in the initial stages, the side effects were not as strong as in this Anafranil. My experience with this drug was hammer-hard in the truest sense of the word, because I could not sleep, had sweats, got trembling had anxiety and in the meantime also had chills. Often had to go to the toilet because of pee and I was very bad and a nausea was still long after taking. The next day I could not go to work because I was downcast and not well asleep and had soft legs like pudding. In addition, I could not eat and I have been on a diet for 3 days to recover. Defecation was also very bad what I do not know. Have read then that in this tablet is a completely different active ingredient in it than in my prescribed by Germany.

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)

Side effects that disappeared after a few days or weeks: nausea, tiredness, drop in blood pressure when getting up, photosensitivity, tachycardia Side effects during the entire period of administration: weight gain (25kg in approx. 6 months at a dose of 100mg), dry mouth (isolated), sweating ( isolated), nightmares / lively dreams (partly pleasant). Unlike all ‘modern’ antidepressants, Anafranil always gave me a sense of security. It’s the only AD that really helped me (I was allowed to try sertraline, duloxetine, fluoxetine and mirtazapine – all flops). Weaning was on the whole problem-free (slight sensations in the case of rotational movements of the eyes).
