I didn't switch from another antidepressant when I started taking Mirtazapine. I could tell that I was going downhill, so I talked with my psychiatrist about it and he started me on Mirtazapine in addition to the Wellbutrin I had been taking for a number of years, ramping up to 45mg dose that stopped my downward slide.

Imipramine wasn't prescribed for depression, but as a pain reliever. I take 100mg, at least until my next appointment with the pain specialist.

@jimhd first of all I hope things are going better . You are in my prayers.
Imipramine was something I was also given 25 years ago as I was in so much pain and going downhill. I won’t be here today without starting that med.
my problem is figureing docs and meds to take now. Over the last 2 years I had been on imipramine and also cymbalta. I starting getting hand shaking and was told by a dr I saw that took all the blood work that it could be the cymbalta with the imipramine so I stopped the Cymbalta in April . I was going to ask my new Pysch ( old one retired about going back on it) but went to first dr in 9 months, one who specialty is neuro with ms and also Pysch. He discussed trying pot or cbd. Then talked about gaba, lyrica and mirtazazine but saw that I might be heading down hill so he put me on mirtazane. I’m not sure I’m going to stay on it as I need to talk to my other dr about going back to cymbalta.
How do U get up in the morning? The 7.5 mg knocks me out.
