I never had a big problem with sedation - what little I had at first subsided after a few weeks. Have you had a blood imipramine level drawn? I suspect what happened to me was a bit unusual, but it may also be the case with you - just something to think about: I was on 75 mg of imipramine and my blood level was in the high therapeutic range, nearing toxic levels (don't ask me what the number was, but this is what my doc told me). I stayed on imipramine for over a year and had blood levels monitered periodically. Each time the blood level came back 'high therapeutic'. Imipramine can be cardiotoxic at high levels, which is why my doc was monitering the level.
