Hi, UD.

It felt quite promising early on in treatment, and I often felt it was the best medication I've tried that is classified as an antidepressant. Now, I'm at 150 mg/day and it's been a long time, and I'm not really sure it is doing anything any more. The most promising signs came early in treatment, at very low doses. It did not get better with dose increments, but I'm not sure it got worse either.

That's valuable information. Thanks.

Trimipramine was the second drug my current doctor tried on me. The first was doxycyline. He wanted to rule-out Lyme Disease. I don't remember if I was taking any other drugs at the time. It didn't make me feel worse, which by itself is a blessing. I don't remember dosages or the length of the trial. It didn't affect me one way or the other.

Do you think trimipramine helps at all by improving sleep architecture? I didn't know that it was so antihistaminergic.
