Hi everyone - I haven't been here in a while and I have been doing really well. I'm now on Anafranil (Clompiramine) and it's working for me. I have Xanax to use as needed but I haven't needed to in a...
I posted part of this on my other thread but I posted it with a bunch of rambling so I thought I'd clean it up and just ask the questions I have. I'm wondering if any of you have ever made it through...
Hi everyone- I want to start by saying I've been feeling a bit better the last week or so - maybe even almost 2 weeks now. I had decided not to take the Anafranil and I have been faithfully taking my...
I got a call back from my psychiatrist on Sunday (I had left him a message at his office.) He told me the Anafranil 10 mg isn't available so he decided to give me the 25 mg. He said he had wanted me...
Hi everyone - I'm supposed to start taking my new anti-depressant this weekend. My psychiatrist put me on a VERY low dose of Anafranil (10mg) due to problems I had adjusting to Zoloft in the past. My...
Thanks everyone :) The anxiety is getting a bit better - probably thanks to my new Xanax prescription - therefore so is the dry mouth. However, I'm starting on Anafranil this weekend and one of the...
I haven't been on any meds (until I started the Xanax last night) since this whole dry mouth thing started so I can't blame it on that. I guess it's just my natural reaction to the...
I guess what scared me is finding a site that compared some of these different drugs and it said people often discontinue use of this one due to "intolerable side effects" or something along that...
Since this most recent bout of anxiety/depression started I have had dry mouth. A "yucky" tast in my mouth and a dry feeling that leaves me needing to sip water throughout the day. Is this common?...
I definitely should NOT have come off the meds and I don't know why I didn't think more about it than I did. I should have known better. I could still be on a med I had already adjusted to, already...
I saw the psychiatrist today - he had a cancellation so I went ahead and went in. It turns out he doesn't do any therapy, he just evaulates you and decides what your meds should be. I felt a little...
I'm scared. Plain and simple. Usually my bouts of anxiety go away but I'm really struggling this time. It may or may not be all my fault for going off a med which was helping me - or at least holding...
I got in to see my new psychiatrist yesterday. He doesn't do talk therapy or anything, he just evaluates your condition and prescribes whatever meds he thinks are necessary. He was thinking of...
I'm also wondering if anyone has had the same experience with getting on zoloft or another antidepressant that I did? I mean it does say in the warnings that these things can happen so I'm sure I'm...
No. My primary care doc is really against Xanax. I'm just trying to hang in there for now but I have to say the mental/physical/emotional stress is just awful. :( I'm sure you know how it is!...
Hi everyone - I'm new here (just joined tonight) and came here looking for people who know how I feel because they have been there. I have suffered from anxiety and depression for years and for the...
Your original post could have been written by me. I'm struggling right now with my anxiety and not sleeping/eating well and so much more. I was glad to read you post (as terrible as I feel for you)...
