Does Intake Of Tofranil Cause Increased Fatigue And Depression?

hi there I just started Trofranil 25mg for headaches and anxiety, but it is making me feel worse not better. I ve been on it for 2.5 weeks but at the moment feel tired, depressed and on edge. Is this a normal start up feeling and will it eventually subside?

hello
i have read your concern

It is not uncommon to have this type of side effect while taking antidepressant tablets. many people have noted this type of side effect in starting of treatment.

In my opinion , you should try some life style modification , as described below, along with medication to relieve anxiety and depression related headache.

first of all sleep is an essential factor. so take adequate sleep of 6 to 8 hour.
reduction of streas and burden.
meditation and yoga for half an hour a day for that prefer morning time
avoid smoking( if there)
just focus on work and enjoy life
do not take extra burden on your mind.
take high fibre diet and green leefy vegetables.

if i were your treating doctor, than i will advice you life style change first.

hope this information will help you
