I'm on 150 imipramine. I went up very slowly--10 mg a week. I've been at 150 for about a month.
I went up as slowly as I did to try and bypass side effects. I think this strategy worked. I started taking it for pain but I believe it's treating my depression which is major unipolar.
Side effects generally passed. Orthostatic hypotension is minimal. Sedation seems to have passed. Constipation manageable with diet. Dry mouth I don't really notice. I had a heart racing feeling that passed. I'm doing well with imipramine and I couldn't tolerate nortriptyline at all.
