Will keep this in mind should I decide on quitting Nardil.
> 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.Since I belong to Kaiser, it probably is not in their formulary of covered drugs but can be added by my pdoc but I surely doubt my pdoc would be willing to Rx anything out of the ordinary.

I agree with you 100%.> There is no reason why it could not be managed successfully with the drugs that are currently available.
There is, if you belong to Kaiser. Thanks for the great info. You're the man, Scott! Glad to see you back in your usual informative form.
