text: norpramin? my psychiatrist gave me the norpramin that disolves under the tongue and is supposed to take affect immediately for anxiety. please if anyone has experience with this drug, tell me what happenes? thank you. norpramin can make you dizzy and can also increase your heart-rate. i read up on it for you because i have never taken it but i'll tell ya, i am on 1800 mg.(which is very high) of neurontin for my anxiety and it helps better than anything else i have ever taken. neurontin is not generally prescribed for anxiety. it is an anti-seizure medication but does work as an anti-anxiety med. the following website tells you about norpramin and it's side-effects. good luck.
