Panda - Wow. That is a very, very interesting suggestion. Very.

As of a year ago, trimipramine was available in the US only as the branded product, Surmontil. It is very expensive for a tricyclic. Odyssey Pharmaceuticals serves as the sole distributor. They do have a patient assistance program, but I don't know how good it is.

Odyssey seems to have made a business of taking on drugs that have a limited market and for which there is only one manufacturer. They basically corner the market and charge whatever the market will bear.
FST - If Nardil is working for you, the insomnia should be treated aggressively. There is no reason why it could not be managed successfully with the drugs that are currently available.
