So I was having depression along with anxiety just before starting the desiprimine. Usually don't get anxiety along with it.
Anyway, I am only on day four of desiprimine and at a very low startup dose. 10mg. the first day and 5mg. the next two days. Yesterday I starting getting not just the regular startup anxiety with a TCA but more like muscle tension anxiety along with it.
My throat felt like it was tight and constricted for a good part of the day yesterday and I woke up with a sore neck, etc.
I can handle most aspects of anxiety but the throat constriction bothers me the most and I'm not sure what to do?
I was getting some anxiety before I started the desiprimine. I thought about increasing the paxil.
Right now I think I should hold off on the desiprimne and take a look at my anxiety and get that settled before continuing with something like desiprimine.
Does that sound prudent?
Thanks for your replies...
