In case anyone is interested, this response is in reply to the post, over a year old now, to the unfortunate person with PD who swallowed 100 mg. of imipramine one morning...(!)
I used that drug for several years for the smae reason but I was on 10mg. of valium every night and started with 10mg. and by cutting pills in half, workrd my way up to 100mg/night after around four months. It wasn't easy! But with the two dugs in combination it really was fairly effective treatment with minimal sexual cost. It would have made my life MUCH better ten years earlier. Now I'm only taking 10 mg./night because being an older man(51) I don't need anythig even slightly holding back my sex drive and so far that seems to work.
One postive side effect from antidepressents for me was remission of my intractable and demoralizing psoriasis of the fingernails. No small benefit.
