Related User Reviews for Side Effects

I was prescribed this for headache/chronic pain in my neck/head and major depression from having been sick for years. This drug for me worked great, not so much for my headaches but for the deep refreshing sleep it gave me to cope with the pain. It also lifted my depression and gave me extended orgasms. The only weird side effect was reduced sperm output during ejaculations. I would probably be dead if not for Pamelor. It really brought me out a sever depression. I guess for some people it works on headaches, but for me not so much. Desipramine on the other hand works good for my headaches but ruins my sleep cycle.

Taking 150 mg. in the a.m. for PMDD--very severe form of PMS, but with extreme lows & somtimes suicidal ideations--symptoms disappear after menstruation begins. Currently day 23 on WB & in the thick of PMS time in my cycle, but minus the horrible depressing feelings, rage, & dark clouds/black pit--not ONE suicidal thought yet or feelings of hopelessness. Feel a warm, fuzzy sense of well being and calmness most of the time. In control. Sleep very well. WB like caffeine in the a.m. Did experience some emotional episodes a few days ago, but think was normal due to circumstances. Will gladly trade current side effects for overwhelming positives. Interested to see if there'll be more effects, positive or negative with continued use.

I was told to take for 2 months to supress EBV. The first two weeks I felt worse. Now entering the 3rd week and I have some energy but still have no appetite and nausea.Too early to tell if it is working to suppress my numbers. The side effects are worse than the fatigue and headaches.

started on 10 lexapro with xanax. pdoc upped me to 20mg, took me off xanax and put me on 20 buspar. the 20 lexapro made me want to sleep all day and night and I had extreme body shakes at night. Lowered down to 10 lexapro, but had obsessive thoughts again. Finally, up to 15 lexapro and 10 buspar 2x day. The buspar has no side effects and I can function like a human on 15 lexapro, but have no libido and slight muscle twitches in my hands and legs.

25mg dosage perscribed by my physician at the VA Hospital. Took the meds one day and am still feeling the effects! Finally 'sobering' up if you will. Difficult getting up at my usual time and can't seem to stop eating. Can't afford to get fat as I am still in the military (Nat'l Guard)and must pass p-t test and weight asides. A bit tentative about taking it again - (didn't take it last evening and slept like a freakin' baby for 5 hours) as I am still groggy and sluggish. After the first night of meds driving to work I could not focus on the trek in and nearly had an accident. Never had more horns blarring at me. My next VA appointment is in two weeks so will discuss other options then. In the meantime I will stick to an every-other-night regime until this medication and I can come to an agreement.
