Waking up like that is a pain in the *ss. Honestly I don't think Trimipramine is going to provide you with a reprieve. Maybe Doxepin, but here's my list of 'sleep aids':
Seroquel - powerful histamine action
Gabitril - Improves stage 4 sleep
Cyproheptadine - Powerful anti-histamine that antagonizes some 5ht receptors. Very sedating. Also improves sleep.
Clonidine - getting more popular as a treatment for insomnia.
Lyrica + Gabbapentin - Also improve sleep.
Thorazine - Yeah.Clomipramine by itself can cause sedation after dosing. Perhaps you'd do better on a slightly higher dose, say 100 mg. Remember, max dosage for depression or anxiety is usually 150 mg.
> Do you have any experience with Trimipramine or Clomipramine ? Or both ?
I have experience with Clomipramine. I take 100 mg along with 40 mg Viibryd to treat OCD and bipolar depression. When I was on the Chlomipramine alone, I was taking 200 mg. It brought me out of a long depression and really helped my OCD. The only problems I had with it were EPS and anorgasmia.
