I wanted to say I jumped the gun when some people suggested my nightmares had to do with Effexor withdrawl. I said they didn't and that it was my imipramines fault. Well after some time and going back on Effexor, I do now believe it was Effexor withdrawl...which is about as close to living HELL as can be imagined. I ran to my local medical clinic and got my Effexor refill. So I've added best of both worlds, a small bit of imipramine with a larger Effexor XR dose. The next step will be hopefully to add some type of anti-anxiety, or anti-manic component. I do have some benzos I will use until I see doctor next week. Some either individual or combanation of mood stabalizers and/or atypical antipsychotics, with hopefully continuing benzodiazepine therapy.
So I guess this post may shed some light in those interested in imipramine, and I think it is a good med to augment with Effeoxr, or your favorite antidepressant. I will keep updates and hope others can find ideas in this.Thankyou. Marc.
