In reply to Help! Really need input - Anafranil side effects, posted by tampagirl70 on May 10, 2005, at 8:09:31
Hello,
I have taken Anafranil in the past with the only side effect being slight weight gain. However, others complain more about side effects. One is--at higher doses you can have orthostatic hypotension (dizziness if you stand up too quickly); some I believe complained of drowsiness. So some people have multiple side effects, but some like me have very little. It does not seem to have very strange immediate effects, especially if you go up slowly on dosage.For me, it was a miracle drug for depression and obsessive thinking, until it pooped out on me.
Risperdal and Geodon are in my estimation more powerful drugs, and more apt to result in odd side effects.......so I don't think it means you will have trouble with all medications. I had a very atypical reaction to benzos, yet have been just fine with many other medications.
Good luck!
