Tofranil (imipramine) 150- How long until it works

Posted by JayBTV on December 20, 2006, at 13:00:50

I've been on Tofranil (75mg) for the past week w/o noticing too much change in my depression. If anything I've just become more tired and sedated.
I saw my pdoc today and he raised the dose to 150mg which according to him (and what I've read) is more likely to yield benefit for depression.
I was just looking for info from people who've taken Tofranil as to approx how long it too them to notice it's effects. I've been on many different ADs before and of course I've read up so I know typically they say given them 4-6weeks.
Notwithstanding I was hoping some people who've used this medication could chime in regarding approx how long it took to notice benefits. With other SSRI/MAO type ADs I've usually noticed something positive within the first week.
Thanks for any insight!
