> Ilene, Thanks for the info. It's the taccycardia and stimulation I'm most afraid of. She's starting me at l0mg. Do I take it in the morning or at night? She said it was supposed to help my anxiety. Did you personally ever take one? Fondly,Phillipa
I took a TCA called desipramine (Norpramin or Pertofane) for a long time. I don't remember any sides, but I don't get too many unless I'm at very high doses of drugs. It worked for my depression the first time I took it (over 20 years ago) but I had no anxiety problem back then. It didn't work the second time I tried it (about 2 years ago). I think I took it in the morning. The info on mentalhealth.com says to take 25 mg nortriptyline 3 or 4 times a day. Your doctor is starting you at a very low dose. I think you'll be okay.
I.
