> Can I ask if you have ever used Anafranil? If so, what was your experience? Were the side effects really bad? Was there any cognitive impairment? As you can probably tell, I am a bit nervous about starting it. I have had the prescription for over a week, and still have not got up the nerve to start. I have heard that it is considered one of the best ADs of all time, but the side effects can be a bear.

Hi there Tamara!Unfortunately, no, I have never taken Anafranil, but I have taken other TCAs, which is why I knew about the interactions. I have read a lot of good stuff about it, and it is suppose to be better than the sedating TCAs like Amitriptyline for obsessive compulsive disorders.
Maybe you should start another thread asking about cognitive impairment and what to expect during the first few weeks of initiation.
Good luck and sorry I couldn't be of more help!
