waking up to reality, and I haven't slept for four days

Additional Thoughts
I've been on it a month. My doctor told me to take up to 150mg a day so I took 150mg a day...as an american I know more is better. Everything started off great...got lots of work done, started going to the gym three hours a day, lost 20lbs. I've found though that 150mg is way too much to start off on as now I have a toxic level. I eat practically nothing and I have not slept for four days. I should have tried it on the dog first

Additional Thoughts
I wrote the comments on 11-13-06. I found out I couldn't take 1 imipramine at work or it would make me hazy. I went to the Psychiatrist & told him I was having severe mood swings & he suggested Lexapro at 10mg or up to 40 mg of imipramine. I was taking lexapro every other day and the psychologist said it wouldn't work that way plus I started taking 40 mg.of imipramine. When I saw the psychiatrist again he suggested getting off the lexapro because of the possibility of weight gain and it "stops working after a while" and increasing the imipramine to 50 mg. He also contradicted the psychologist saying the lexapro would work that way because it stays in your system. I got laid off because work was slow and all I've done for a few days is go on the computer and lay on the couch, but I don't have the severe mood swings. The trouble with taking 2 different meds is you don't know what is doing what, and it's always a "hit or miss" proposition, either the stuff work

Reason: Occipital neuralgia Date: 23 May 2007
Side Effects
Weight gain, approx 20 pounds in 6 months. At first this medication made it difficult to sleep, but I adjusted within a week of taking it. Now it doesn't help or hinder my sleep. The weight gain is very frustrating. I have to spend 2 hours a day at the gym to keep from gaining more.

Additional Thoughts
I take a small dose (25mg) for a nerve disorder (which is exacerbated by stress). I can see that this would be an effective drug for combating stress, since it greatly helps my nerve disorder, which had been debilitating. The weight gain has been so annoying that I'd like to ween myself off this medication, but I don't know if I'll be able to. A side note: I have ADD, and this does NOTHING to help it. I can't take other medication (like ritalin) for the ADD because it would interact with the imipramine, and my concentration level is at an all-time low.
