Well I didn't last long on the trimipramine (swapped over from amitryptyline). 4 weeks is all. Severity in depression increased. Bad dreams and uncomfortable hypnagogic state in the morning. Streams of tears everyday at any time. I know it could have been the ami withdrawal but with 4 weeks on trimipramine did nothing. Only made things worse.
Anyway, I'm back onto 100mg amitryptyline at night.
I've had the results of blood tests too which my pdoc wanted done before putting me on lithium. 2 abnormalities. Slightly high thyroid function, and slightly raised statins. My diabetes team can work with the statins but I wonder what's causing the overactive thyroid. Can I still go onto lithium? And what, if anything will he give me to re-balance my thyroid?
