Hi Anna.

I had a similar a similar experience with Promazine (anti-psychotic sedative) &, to a lesser extent, Sulpiride.

Promazine wld give me a sense of euphoria a couple of hrs after taking a pill (it was supposed to knock me out!). I thought it was addressing the depression but my pdoc was adamant that what I was experiencing was a sudden release from yrs of persistent anxiety, & in hindsight I think he was correct (for once). Like y'self I don't consider myself to be an anxious person, but I certainly have the physical symptoms.

Like Anna Laura I too have the suspicion that tranquilizers (minor *&* major) can worsen LT prognosis for depression. Sulipiride may control my social phobia, but in the yr I've been taking it my depression has significantly worsened...

J.
