Hello,
You have chronic anxiety and problems of sleep. You are taking
Imipramine and the drug is helping to some extent but still, you are not able to sleep properly.
You only sleep for 2-3 hours a night and or you have multiple awakenings at night. Imipramine is a TCA drug and the drug helps in anxiety and
depression.
It also results in the improvement of sleep but other drugs with strong sleep actions are needed to be added to your prescription.
Drugs like Trazodon, Doxepine,
Mirtazapine, etc can be utilized for sleep and anxiety in your case.
Trazodon is also a good antidepressant and it also helps in strong sleep. Visit your
psychiatrist for prescription of this drug.
Apart from that try to improve your
sleep hygiene for better sleep.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
