I was on Trimipramine for 10 years, an updated version of Imipramine I believe. I took it for GAD and insomnia. It helped greatly with both, particularly for insomnia, as I slept for 11-12 hours every night! I did have trouble getting up though, and it’s only in the year I’ve been off it that I realise I was living in a bit of a brain fog. I’m glad to have my mental acuity back now and feel motivated and enthusiastic about life again. Also, the drug gave me a terribly dry mouth and eyes, constipation and heart palpitations.

I don’t know what those ten years would have been like on a different drug and I was so grateful to be saved by it from feeling constant fear, panic and sleeplessness. In the end the drug became outrageously expensive and the NHS would no longer prescribe it.

Give the others a try, but keep a close eye on over-sleeping and apathy.

Good luck.
