In reply to What is anafranil 'actually' doing for me ?, posted by Kizzie2 on March 22, 2011, at 6:48:32
> Anyway I just wondered if anyone could help me work what my body is 'missing' with 15mg less on anafranil? I feel very jittery now with waves of lows/ anxiety / panic and depression.
That sounds miserable. I'm sorry. My thought as to why you feel jittery now is that perhaps anafranil is more potent at boosting NE (the stimulating part) than at blocking histamine (the sedating part). So you have hit a dose where the sedation is not prominent, but it is still fairly stimulating.
The reason you are feeling depressed is probably a symptom of your disorder, not the anafranil.
Maybe you should consider boosting the dose a little to find a better balance between stimulation and sedation.
