In reply to dosage and is it ok to use herbals w/ Trimipramine, posted by rodm on July 16, 2002, at 0:13:11
If it is being used for sleep, 25mg may be enough; you may not need to increase to 50mg or to add herbs. If 50mg was not enough, your doc could safely take you up to 150mg or even 200mg and that would be a typical dose used for depression.
The side effects will increase as the dose increases, just like most meds, so it really does make sense to use the lowest effective dose.
I don't think there would be any problem mixing the herbs with it, although some docs recommend against using melatonin.
> My doctor had never heard of Trimipramine (Surmontil), He is young though. He has approved it for a trial period of one month, I weigh 220, what do you think should be my dosage, he wants me to start the first week at 25mg, then progress the next week to 50mg. Also can I mix natural herbal sleep aids with this, like gaba, melatonin, velerian root, scullcap, passion flower,chamomile, and 5 hydroxy tryptophan.
