Hi Alien!
I hope you've recovered from your Tegretol ordeal :-)
>75mg Anafranil (to be increased to 150mg next time i see him)
WOW!! That is a very high starting dose for someone who has previously had bad side effects from Anafranil!! I would start at 10mg/day if possible- 25mg/day at the very most. Anafranil often needs to be titrated gradually to minimise side effects- 75mg to 150mg is a very large increase. The 10mg tabs/caps are useful for titration. Anyway, you might not even need 150mg :-)
> I guess this time if this happens I will take laxatives but what should I do about the urination thing if that happens?
You could get a prescription for bethanechol, it might also help the constipation.
Kind regards,
Ed.PS. Don't be scared of Anafranil, just don't take 75mg as a starting dose!
