Hi, just thought I would add my two cents in since I know a little about imipramine.
I just dropped my 20 mg of imipramine and now am back down to 50 mg of nortryptline. I was trying to get a high enough dose and then ease of nortryptline since I have some theories on problems it might be causing me. One reason is I seemed to have a rebound in anxiety after about 10 days and had a sudden onset of dry mouth and sweating that kept me up one night. I often wonder which AD is causing the side effects when I am taking both, but one never knows. I had to go back and add 7.5 mg of tranzene to my current night dose of 7.5 mg. Acutally, I take half of the 7.5 mg at noon and the other around 5 pm. I am totally confused on how to "switch" from one AD to another, especically from one TCA to another??? From what I have read imipramine does have a good track record, but takes some time to get going, and helps with panic and anxiety.
