Do anticholinergic side-effects go away with time?

Posted by enndub on October 30, 2012, at 11:21:24

So as I am still not getting acceptable results on 75 mg of Nardil alone, I am looking into augmentation/new combinations to try.
I am wondering if anticholinergic side effects go away with time as then I might be able to try some of the TCAs. The most intolerable sides for me are akathisia and auditory hallucinations when tired or falling asleep.
Will these go away if I stick it out on a TCA for a few months? Also, are the auditory hallucinations (just when falling asleep on an anticholinergic med) at all indicative of a psychotic disorder? I want to be prepared with some information if my doc wants to put me on an atypical, as those are a last-resort as far as I am concerned.
Thanks,
Nick
