> You are so right about " mother drug Imipramine " .That is my psychotrist said too. I'm going to try not taking it tonight and see if I can get good night sleep. If I can't ,I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow, and address this sleeping problem, to see if he is agree to prescribe Imiprmine just for evening , or see what his suggesting.

Imipramine is intersting as it was one of the first antidepressants to be discovered. It was getting trialed as an Antipsychotic & it wasn't working, but the doctor doing the trial noticed that some of them got happier. That's fairly impressive when you consider that drugs companies struggle to past tests that show SSRI's to be better than placebo's.
Doctors avoid prescribing TCA's these days as they are nearly all generic & drug companies can't make huge profit out of them. If you can tolerate them, they are good drugs.
Keep us posted on how you go.
Cheers,
Panda.
