Inflammation due to tricyclics - Has anyone here experienced an
increase in inflammation of your immune
system due to the use of tricyclics? I had some serious inflammation
during the early 80's that seemed unexplained until I started to do
some internet digging. I had some serious problems with my sinuses and

with bronchial problems. I was taking Limbitrol at the time. This was

a combination of Librium and Elavil. It really caused some serious
problems that I am dealing with to this day.

Tricyclics are very drying to the mucus membranes. That makes mucus
more viscous and harder for your body to sweep it out. That can
exacerbate both upper and lower respiratory problems.

Frankly, nearly all of these psychotherapeutic meds--the major and minor
tranquilizers and the antidepressants and the neuroleptics--can have
drying effects on the mucus membranes.
