Alert on Pamelor, I had a blood clot (PE) move to my lung, hospital stay, and IVC placed on the vein. Wonderful experience from one dosage of Pamelor. Be alert to all side effects of this medication. Oh, yes, I have no physical problems, blood work prior to this 100% perfect, no clogged arteries, all veins cleared from plaque.

I use this medication for my migraines and it seems to help me good coz I usually have a migraine almost every day, but when I take this medication I won't have a migraine for like a few days. They're 50mg, but my Neurologist perscribed two capsules every night, so that's 100mg all together. This medication definitely helps better. Before I was put on this I was taking Excedrin, but I'm glad I'm on the Pamelor now.

This medication was prescribed for me for severe heartburn that I had since I had COVID. The heartburn stopped within 3 days but the nightly dreams or nightmares were a every night occurrence. I wasn’t able to sleep through the night, waking up and very twenty minutes. This medication was not for me.

I took this for depression, and I was so nauseated by it that I could only take it for a few days. It also made me very anxious and feeling "weird", for lack of a better word.

I have been taking this drug since January of 2013. It calms my headaches and dizziness resulting from a Traumatic Brain Injury. Pamelor also works well with keeping my mood swings in check. I started out at 25 milligrams nightly and then increased it to 50 milligrams and now I am at 75 milligrams daily. The major negatives with this drug is a higher heart rate, hair loss - could be from my age mid 50's, and about a 15% weight gain which is extremely difficult to work its way off.

Just started on Fri 12/15/13 and have a sharp electrical type shock around my ankle that lasts 5-10 seconds and then stops. This has happened 4 times during today. Wonder if this drug is creating the shock feeling?

This medication has also helped me with my Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)and when I told my Gastroenterologist he said he also recommends it. I have been taking it for depression and it is ok but I don't want to stop due to the IBS situation.

I am taking 10 mg for fibromyalgia...I find the side effects to be minimal, I take it at night before bed, it is a time released capsule so around 3:30 in the afternoon I get a little dizzy and speech gets slightly slurred for a few hours...I have not had any of the weight gain issues other people have mentioned...My fatigue is better but I think I may have to increase to 25mg to help the pain...this dosage doesn't seem to be working well on the pain...for me this is much better than Effexor...those side effects were unbearable!

It greatly relieved my depression and anxiety but it gave me terrible headaches. Aspirin gave me some relief but caused stomach problems. The drug also caused constipation.

This is an old drug but a good one. The biggest side effect was a dry mouth.
