Re: question about anafranil side effects

[Guest guest]

My son is on 50 mg anafranil and 300 mg luvox. He started the anafranil

last Jan. during hospitalization. He had shakes early on with this medication

but it did go away. He also gets sweats from this medication, the sweats

usually come within the first several hours after taking the medication. They

have gotten better but have not gone away. The medication is helping so the

side effects seem worth it.

Hi, . My daughter has never taken anafranil but she did get the shakes

from Zoloft. It lasted for awhile (weeks?) and then went away. Kelley in NV

Hi ,

Yes my son amer has his hands all the time shaking, as you said its the side

effect of the medications. He is in college majoring Land scape Design & he

is supposed to handle the Camera & take photoes they are coming as they

should because of the shaking hands. He mentioned to his psychiatrist this &

he adiveced him to use this thing with three legs to put the camira on. I

wonder if anybody on this list knows about any solution for that for that.

My son is now taking 5 mg of Abilify and his tics are indeed gone but

he is shaky and the OCD is not being helped. We're headed to the pdoc

again tomorrow to discuss adding an SSRI... he (and we, as a result)

have been in crisis mode (no school, lots of crying, fits, obsessional

talk/behaviors) for over a month now although looking back we were on

the brink of crisis with this for years. Anyway, does anyone out there

know how soon after starting something like Abilify an SSRI can be

added to the regimen?

Well, I don't think that any time has to pass before adding an SSRI to

Abilify. Quite honestly, I'm confused by the fact that your doctor prescribed

the

Abilify first. It is more the norm to add the antipsychotic to the SSRI to

boost it if it doesn't work. Keep in mind that an SSRI will take several weeks

to reach full effect. Both of my kids take Luvox (which the doctor tells us

isn't an SSRI) with Abilify for Hannah and Risperdal for . I hope the

appointment goes well. Kelley in NV

My dd had shakes the entire time she was on anafranil. Once she was

taken off, the shakes stopped. Personally, I hated the time she was on

it. It tore me up to see my little girl shaking & the weight gain was

awful. I was so grateful when she was put on another med.

Kelley,

You said your doctor told you that luvox isn't an SSRI. Do you know

what it is? That is what my daughter is on so now I am curious.

I don't remember what she said it was--I think it might be in a class by

itself. , are you out there? Can you help here? ( is pretty good at

this stuff...) We do see the doctor on Monday and I'll be sure to ask her.

Everything I see says Luvox is an SSRI. Is there some other

difference about it? Curious.

Luvox is an SSRI. It is not in a class by itself. Maybe they mean Effexor, or

Anafranil?
