A member asked:

Will coming off of 75mg anafranil and 10mg inderal (propranolol) give me withdrawal, electric shock, agitation, tachicardia symptoms?

Not necessarily: Side effects are listed to warn people of POTENTIAL PROBLEMS of taking a medication. It's not an automatic guaranteed event that a patient will absolutely have happen to them. In fact, most side effects have less than about a 5% chance of happening to any given person exactly the way it's listed in the pharmacy pamphlet. Best thing is to follow doctor's instructions & immediately report problems.

Don't know: Potential side effects - doesn't mean you will get them. Anafranil discontinuation syndrome can include: dizziness, irritability, headache, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, malaise, fever, ^’ed depressive sx’s, or ^ed anxiety, tremors, fatigue, poor balance, nightmares. Symptoms may last days to months. Brain shocks are more commonly associated with SSRI discontinuation.
