Begin with the lowest effective dose, typically 25mg daily, increasing gradually as directed by your doctor. Most patients find a therapeutic dose between 75-150mg daily. Always swallow Anafranil tablets whole with water; do not crush or chew them.
Your doctor will monitor your progress closely, adjusting the dosage based on your response and any side effects. Regular blood pressure and heart rate checks are common. Report any unusual symptoms immediately, including dizziness, rapid heartbeat, or blurred vision.
Take Anafranil at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels. Consistency promotes stability and reduces the likelihood of adverse reactions. Avoid alcohol and other central nervous system depressants during treatment.
Be aware that it may take several weeks before you experience the full benefits of Anafranil. Patience is key. Do not stop taking Anafranil suddenly; gradually reduce your dose under your doctor’s guidance to prevent withdrawal symptoms.
Open communication with your physician is crucial for successful treatment. Regular follow-up appointments ensure proper monitoring and address any concerns promptly.
Your doctor will provide specific guidance based on your individual needs and medical history. These recommendations offer general information and should not substitute for professional medical advice.
