In reply to TCAs and tachycardia/sedation - please help!, posted by automatedlady on April 22, 2003, at 10:33:10
Hi,
I took TCAs a while ago and they did have some annoying side effects. Weight gain and trouble urinating were the ones I remember. I was trying to get on one again but my pdoc won't give it to me because he says it can cause heart problems. I'm planning on going to another pdoc to get them because I want to try a TCA with li, or thyroid hormone. I'm overweight too but if the meds help, I'd be willing to put up with weight gain. Plus, if I felt better I'd probably be able to excercise and eat better to control my weight.
Regarding sedation, I think alot of times it goes away after your brain adjusts to the med. That's what happened when I took AP's.
Also, I don't think it would hurt to try a beta blocker. If it makes you flat then just stop it, if not then your in the clear.Dave
