Thank you for your kind reply. Yeah, it seems something like ODD.
"having NE reuptake inhibition and then antagonizing some of the NE receptors" ... Why does Anafranil has both properties ?
Could you explain to me what is the half-life of the meds ? For ex. Imipramine 19 hrs, (8-20 hrs).
Why three numbers ?
Does it mean that if I take Imipramine after 20 hours there won't be any trace of the med in my body ? (Clomipramine 19-37 hrs)
mumble mumble ... does it mean that I could take Imipramine only when I need it for daily use ? Interesting issue ... since here Tofranil is considered the best TCA for ADHD ... It's less serotoniergic and more NEergic ... seems interesting : ) (I'll ask about Clonidine ... I think Guanfacine is a med of the same class)P.S. I red before posting your new post ... I usually stayed on it for ten-eleven months then stop it on summer than re-take it. And I did this for 5-6 years. Maybe some anxiety can taper off in the long term but the social avoidance usually lasts ... Besides the "ODD problem" I don't enjoy very much staying with people when I'm on it ... I easily get bored and want to go back home and reading my books ... Furthermore and unluckly sexual disinterest and weight gain doesn't taper off : ) (I know, it would be the same for Tofranil : /)
