> ChloeOh, that's Ok, that's interesting. It seems that Trimipramine isn't near as sedative as amitrip. then huh? I suppose you could flip right back to the amitrip. and tell your pdoc tomorrow. Amitrip. definitely kicked ass as far as sedation. I remember stopping it a long time ago because people I worked with complained I was getting boring and blah to be around! I had also quit doxepin before that. I wanted to reduce the dose to help get rid of the zombification and as I reduced the dose I become less tolerant of the sedation and wound up just as zombified as I was on the higher dose! I am trying an experiment tonite to try to sleep straight through and not have an early morning awakening (I have had several in a row the last few nites). I have noticed that I am getting fatigued and tired earlier in the evening. So..I am drinking a couple of cups of coffee to force myself to stay awake until much later. Then take my meds and crash. Sort of a forced sleep shift of sorts. I will let you know if it seemed to help.
