Hi All. I took Anafranil for 2 weeks and got up to 150mg but had to stop because I was getting super lightheaded. It also did not help at all with depression and possibly helped a little with OCD but I am aware I didn't give it enough time. After talking with my doctor we decided to take me off of it so I haven't taken it in two days.

Anyway, I have been having serious shakiness problems. My hands are so shakey I can barely type this. Also my legs are very shakey. I called my doctor and she said to see if this is happening in a few days. My question is, is this normal with Anafranil? I also am not sure if these tremors are because the drug is still in my system or because of withdrawal from it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Did your doc tell you to just stop taking it? Tricyclics generally need to be tapered down to avoid withdrawal effects.
