In reply to Trimipramine (Surmontil) - Anyone ???, posted by SLS on January 5, 2001, at 9:12:08

> - How well does it work, and what else are you taking?Didn't work at all for me & I took it alone.
> - Why did you choose trimipramine?
My GP chose it after Paxil/Prozac poop-out principally because a) I hadn't tried a tricyclic & b) I have chronic insomnia & I guess he thought it'd help (it did a little).
> - Is it sedating?YES. Best taken @ bedtime for a good night's sleep. Can be hard to wake up on higher doses tho' I don't remember feeling too sedated during the day.
> - What side effects have you experienced?
Perhaps a little increase in agitation/depersonalisation but not a great deal else.
> - Would you recommend trimipramine?
Well like every other AD it didn't work 4 me but I certainly wouldn't dissuade you from trying. If insomnia is an issue then it could be a logical choice.
Rgds,
