Hi I would really appreciate advice on this.
I was on 50mg of anafranil but have had to reduce (slowly) to 35mg because of drowsiness side effect which was affecting my driving and ability to do my job. (I had tried taking the medication at different times of the day but didnt make any difference.) I am very sensitive to medications and seem to be hit by side effects at quite low doses.If at all possible I dont want to switch to a different ad because I tend to get much much worse on them when I first start them :-(
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.
I know lots of people here really understand the 'chemistry' behind the medication so Im hoping that i might be able to work out what my body is missing and then find other ways to replace it (eg reducing cortisol with light exercise???)
I hope this message makes sense. Apologies if it doesnt and I will try and explain more clearly.
I would really appreciate any advice / help.
Thanks x
