Well this is odd. Trimipramine 100mg is already helping. Its gentle but a definite improvement in mood. But it seems paradoxical.
Last night I took my 100mg (4 pills) around midnight. When I next checked the time it was 4am! Not even a yawn. I went to bed and had to wait a good 1/2hr for sleep. But when I tried waking this morning it was near impossible. Very vivid dreams with just about enough energy to wake, turn over and fall back to sleep.
So I'm gonna try daytime dosing. Already took my 1st dose of 50mg THIS MORNING-NO DROWSINESS :)
I plan to take my 2nd 50mg between lunch & dinner (4pm-ish). None at night. Lets see what happens.
Its also comforting to know that I can go to 300mg & beyond if need be. This med is looking more like an activating med day by day, even taken along with Klonopin, which I've lowered from 4 to 3mg without apparent consequences. Which also means I have an extra 1mg to help me sleep if needed. I doubt the Marplan has changed any mechanism of trimipramine, except maybe potentiate it.med
