>How much anafranil were you taking back then?
I was taking 300 mg of Anafranil.
>I'm on anafranil I cannot take ritalin.
This is simply not true. I took 72 mg of Concerta (a long acting formula of ritalin) while I was on Anafranil.
>I always thought that the higher the number the stronger the affinity. Is it the other way around?
Yes, the lower the Ki the greater the affinity, because affinity is finite.
>anafranil has a stronger affinity for serotonin than newer SSRI?
I can't find a lot of data supporting this supposition.
>SSRI didn't work for me at all. I wonder why anafranil should work if SSRI don't work
Though Anafranil does some serotonin reuptake inhibition, it mainly acts as a tricyclic antidepressant.
