Imipram? HELP
 
I was prescribed imipram on the 15th of this month, after my follow up visit to my neurologist for my tbi.

It's a tricyclic antidepressant that is suppose to help with my headaches and help me sleep.

It did wonderful the first couple nights, I slept like a baby for the first time in a very long time. It was AMAZING.

but now I'm a week in, (everyday itworkedless and less), and now it doesn't even make me drowsy anymore. Just when things seemed to be getting better. They go back to the way they were.

Does anyone else have experience taking this drug? Orhave the same proble?

Sleepless and tbi
 
Sorry to hear of your distress. I take melatonin to help me sleep. It helps but often does not keep me there. 4 or 5 hours sleep is normal for me now and I manage. I have seen several posts related to sleep and would expect more advice to follow.

Hope you feel better.

I used to be able to get by with little sleep, but it seems ever since my tbi I CAN'T function without sleep. I've also used melatonin. It would sometimes give me crazy dreams and leave me super groggy the next morning. But its effective. I'm glad it helps you.
