Surmontil (trimipramine) IS available in the US. I took it for a while a few years back.
It is still on-patent (not available as a generic), which is rare for a TCA.
It is not a typical TCA. It does not block the re-uptake of NE or 5-HT. It has weak DA blocking properties. It is a truly unique med.
> I don't think Surmontil is available in the US. Even if it is, I doubt my doctor will go for a TCA. I am taking some Restoril which helps with sleep. In the last couple of days, I've actually felt better on 40mgs of Parnate.
