Are you taking imipramine for depression or anxiety? I take a low dose (25-50mg of doxepin (another tri-cyclic) for anxiety. See the "Qx" link here at Dr. Bob's site, click on "index" and look at the article "Very low dose tricyclic therapy". Sounds like you need to increase the dosage to me, though.Best wishes.
