> I can't help much except to say that having taken the Anafranil for *only* TWO days should NOT do irreperable (spelling?) harm.
I took it for 4 days. I agree no long term harm but the misery I am feeling is terrible.
I also did not react well to Anafranil and stopped it after a few days, maybe a week, and was FINE (meaning the side effects I'd had from it were gone) within 24 hours of being off it.
Anafranil has a half-life of approx 20hrs. This means after 24 hours there still was quite a bit of it in your system. I assume you were on a low dose.

MAOIs are THE drugs for me. Once stabilized I will try to augment Nardil or go for Parnate. This relapse prooved to me the brilliance Nardil was providing. I have to count my blessings not my hurts from now on.> What does nocte mean?
nocte means 'take at night'...'mane' means take at morning.
> HANG IN THERE, stay in CLOSE TOUCH with your pdoc
Not a pdoc! they revolt me (90% anyway)!
and regular doctor if that's who you were referring to about the vital signs, and you will be FINE.
Thanks so much for your support,
