My Doctor Is Switching Me From Lexapro To Imipramine HCL.

My doctor is switching me from Lexapro to imipramine HCL. I've been on Lexapro apx. 5 years and it doesn't seems to be helping me any longer with depression and anxiety. Also, I have been having muscle spasms and my doctor feels the new drug may help both. Do I need to come off the Lexapro slowly (titrate down) before I switch over?
