About five years ago, I tapered the temazepam to none (it's a benzo, so tapering is required), and cut the trimipramine. I wanted to see if they were working/necessary. After complete withdrawal, I slept fitfully for 6 weeks. I became pretty much dysfunctional as a result. I was maybe feeling desparate one night, and I took both meds. I woke up the next day feeling brilliantly rested.
I no longer question the drugs.
BTW, I did try doxepin. It was fifteen years ago, but I think I recall that it had a significant "hangover" effect.
