----I'm male 29yrs old so perhaps that's good news they tend to work better for men :)
Also nice to hear the sedation might go away after a few more weeks. I was just ramped up to 150mg three days ago (75mg for a little over a week just prior). This morning is the first time I can say I think it's helping my mood. Hopefully this trend will continue as I get myself back on my feet after a rough manic episode.
Thanks for the reply and if anyone has any personal experiences starting Tofranil (particularly in dosages +100) please post.
Cheers,
-Jay
