Yeah i'm on imipramine at the moment but a low dose because of the usual tricks the TCA does on the heart. It's not being useful for my SAD but is for my lack of energy which i wasn't able to get with the ssri's or snri or even reboxetine. SO i'm going to ask my doc about staying on the small amount of imipramine and adding a weaker ssri like luvox to it as the ssri's have helped with my SAD but i don't like the side effetcs of them at high dose. I was actually having success on just lexapro but i had no energy to want to get out and do anything and was sleeping around 15 hours a day.
