JohnJ,
I do not have any anxiety. My problem is the opposite - I don't even feel anxious when really bad things are happening or are about to happen.
Someday I think apathy disorders will be recognized as the polar opposite of anxiety disorders, in the same way as mania is the polar opposite of depression.
So I can't say if trimipramine helps with anxiety, because I don't have any. I will say that it does not aggrivate my apathy and lethargy as much as Ativan.
Comparing the next day effects of Trimip vs. Ativan, trimip makes me feel a little more sleepy first thing in the morning, but fine the rest of the day. Ativan makes me feel apathetic, lethartic, and a little down for the whole rest of the next day.
As always, YMMV.
> HI,
> I read the articles you attached with much interest. I suffer from depression with quite a bit of anxiety. Which comes first is still a mystery, but I have a feeling anxiety plays a big role and then my sleep becomes disturbed and depression follows. Has trimipramine helped with anxiety? How sedated are you the following morning? I read the one study that said there was decreased coding ability(I assume this means cognitive impairment?). What have been your experiences? Thanks
