Hi Jay,
I've been on 300mg Surmontil [a.k.a. trimipramine] for 5 months now. I've had severe depression for about 7 years now and surmontil's given me the best results of the drugs I've tried. I still feel dreadful [heavy heart, no energy, anxiety and so on] most days but I'm not as severely down as before. I also find that I want to sleep for very long periods [13+ hours] on the weekend.I've tried St John's Wort, lustral, sertraline and effexor xl. I had disasterous [shaking, jelly legs, constant terrifying visions, constant fear] reactions to all of those bar the effexor which I was on for 1.5 years. I gave up the effexor due the the stomach pains and constipation it gave me.
I'm still looking for my wonder drug and am currently 3 weeks into trying 8mg reboxetine in conjunction with the surmontil. Still feeling bad.
Hope this helps in some way,
pedr.
