My doctor noticed heart skips, and talked to my psychiatrist. They agreed to reduce, and within the month, have me stop taking Imipramine. I was taking 300 mg a night. Last night I started taking 200 mg, and will for the next 7 days. Then down to 100 mg for 7 days. And finally down to 50 mg for 2 weeks. I’d like to know, based on this reducing regimen, what side effects I could expect. And as a side note…maybe you can suggest an antidepressant that works well for you. Thanks, Bill.

I have been taking Wellbutrin XL 300 mg. for a few months, and am in a new relationship (5 months). The WB has given me more energy, but I seem to be so anxious, and obsessed over my relationship, which is still going good, but has lost that zing–I think I am driving him nuts. I used to take Prozac, and it really shut up the “committe” in my head, but I didn’t like how hard I had to work to have an orgasm. I am alsdo in Aa recovery, and seeing a psychologist twice weekly. We are getting to the bottom of some of my childhood motives for current behavior (bottomless love-pit)….but I am crying all the time, worried about everything to do with this relationship. Unable to concentrate on important things. Thinking of asking to combine Prozac with Wellbutrin. Maybe the Prozac will help with the head-chatter, and the Wellbutrin may combat any sexual side effects. I want to be HAPPY and serene, and not drive off a really nice man. We are planning on moving in together soon.
I was anxious also in the beginning. I’d have to say that the Wellbutrin hasn’t changed me alot, like Prozac did in the past. I didn’t like the “flat” affect I had with P, though. At least I don’t feel like curling up in a ball and dying like I did before I started the W.
