If anyone recalls my hypersomnia posts;
my observation of this case in decreasing
clonazepam from 3.0 to 1.50 (not quite there
yet) with a max imipramine dose of 300mg steady,
is that the brain fog and *certainly* the
hypersomnia is decreasing, indubitably.Unfortunately, imipramine and many other tricyclics induce anxiety, necessitating a sedative, but the sedative can be too high. Nevertheless, it could also be a side effect or interaction of the combo.
In any case, reducing clonazepam seems to be doing a lot of good. I have seen in the Roche and many other monographs, and the PDR that anything higher than 1.50mg clonazepam for anxiety is not recommended, and may even outweigh the benefits.

Very interesting, Squiggles. Are you still on the Ultram for pain?

That's right - just lithium and K and S; with so
many posts it's understandable.
