i convinced pdoc to let me try trimipramine for my refractory insomnia. i would be interested in hearing about anyone's experience with this drug for insomnia, or depression. it is a TCA but with a very unique mechanism of action, more akin to a atypical antipsychotic really. but its the ONLY sleep med that doesn't screw with sleep architecture and actually IMPROVES sleep. i am up to 50mg, but i still can't fall asleep, i take my trimipramine and try to fall asleep for the next 1.5-2 hours but so far the last few days of trying, i can't do it and require my saphris dose again which sucks. and i'm really taking trimipramine to help with early morning awakening, but so far it hasn't helped. i may be on too low of a dose, so we'll see. seeing dr. on monday.
anyway anyone got any experience with this oddball drug?
