>I was put on 150mgs Imipramine, and took a little to much one morning, became as white as a ghost, then blacked out for 20 seconds-didn't know where i was,ORTHROSTATIC HYPOTENSION was the cause,i have a couple times taken one 25mg at night and feel slower and hungrer the next day (i'm 5'11, 60-65kgs=thin, 30's.
You know stuff, are you saying 25-50mgs Imipramine would buffet and discourage over use of Methylphenidate?-don't they potentiate each other?-problems?
Truth be told yes, i am inclined to take Ritalin at times-hell, often for mood issues, to 'wake up' mentally, to feel alive and 'on'
I'm sensing you thing i tend toward OCD traits-yer i do at times-you picked that up,
so 25mgs Imipramine slows compulsion toward taking Ritalin?
Any comments-Thanks Link,
I ham somewhat sleep deprived, as havn't slept in 3 days-got 10mg IR changed to Rit Sr20-they seem stronger-i havn't slept in 72 hours, but theres always some Risperdal, xanax, Vodka, here if i need to knock myself out, but will probably just 'crash' or start loosing it-at which point i'll knock myself to sleep, with above meds.
Cheers dude-appreciated
