Hi Banga!!
what dose were you on?? would you say Anafranil made you somewhat euphoric ? ie you were motivated every day, happy with life, feeling close to people in general, and really happy?
How long did it take to kick in?
Did you titrate slowly? By how much
Did you take full dose at night?
Did it cause you to wake up suddenly at 4-5pm, because of its effect on stage 3 (I think) sleep?
Thanks dude!!!Ace
