Effexor XR with Imipramine - feedback?

Posted by KimberlyDi on November 4, 2003, at 13:22:20

Here goes. I was having such a hard time with depression going off of Effexor that my pdoc gave me a reprieve. I can remain at 150mg daily and augment with Imipramine. We decided on Imipramine because I didn't want another SSRI, it has strong sedation (read anti-anxiety) effects, and isn't notorious for weight gain (at least not as bad as Remeron).

Anyone have any experience with this combo? I'm supposed to start it tonite but I have reservations about trying a new drug when I'll be asleep. I've dropped the Strattera temporarily until I know if I won't have any ill effects from the Imip. And I've dropped the Trazadone also because the Imip will make me sleepy at night. SO my pocketbook has lightened considerably but all these changes make me nervous. Any feedback?
