I was bitten by a sac spider and my docter prescribed Trepiline for the incredible headaches that I get. It is however making me drowsy and I seem to sleep all the time. Is Tripiline the correct drug for this?

I am in the process of tapering off Zolpidem which I have taken for 13years for insomnia. Tolerance to this drug ment I needed up to 30mg to get sleep. At the moment I am taking 14mg a night. My GP has prescribed Trepiline 25mg - 50mg a night to help with rebound insomnia. I only take it when needed - can't get to sleep or if I wake in the night. Am I trading one addiction for another and do I have to take it every night to obtain maximum sleep benefits. I do not find it nearly as effective as the Zolpidem was in the beginning. I suffer dreadfully from insomnia.

I have been perscribed Trepiline for Migraine attacks. I have been using it for the past 30 days. Although I am still experiencing 4 day long migraine attacks, I am told that this drug will eventually stop them. I really hope it works. i have experienced no side effects other than taking the dosage in the morning and not being able to function properly at work. it made me incredibly tired and irritable.

Well,I stopped taking Trepaline 2 days ago now because it made me very depressed again and very tired in the morning. I'm also bipolar and I'm taking Epitec for it and it works wonderful because I don't have up's and down's any more and I haven't been depressed in a very long time...not until I started drinking Trepaline. So now I have to find something else for my sleeplesness.Any suggestions? My cousin also takes Trepaline to sleep and for anxiety and it works very well for her....so it obviously doesn't work for everone.

As with anything new - your body needs to make the adjustments. Morning drowziness is probably because your body isn't used to getting a full 8 hours sleep & should get better with time.
@ Sans: Maybe try Recepozine or similar Antihistamine tablet with Promethazine hydrochloride, they also work wonders :-)

My doctor prescribed Trepiline to me because i had a c-section 5 weeks ago and they cut through a main nerve in my tummy and the pain is almost unbearable. I just want to know if this is even going to work ??

After reading all of this i'm petrified i won't wake up when my baby needs her feeds and i can't go on during the day a train wreck because of these tablets!

Any suggestions or comments?

My doctor prescribed 10 mg of Trepiline every night since June for my migraine. Can anybody please let me know if they've experienced weight gain - I picked up about 3 kg but am not certain if it is due to the Trepiline of the new contraceptive Minesse Please help? !!

Thanks for the help, I'm no longer dizzy just getting up in the morning is a bit of a job, but it is getting better.

If you read the side affects weight gain is one of them, I started gaining weight, but some of which is because I had to stop running, I'm still on Trepiline and have started to loose it already, your body just needs to get used to it, however some contraceptives do cause weight gain, Iv heard of people who have gained 10kg in 3months after they have started on a contraceptive.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

I am prescribed 25mg tripaline in the evenings - I have always been skinny but suddenly all my clothes are shrinking. At 34 dieting is a whole new thing for me and rather unpleasant - will I get past this weight gain stage and become normal or will I escalate into a Hippo?

This is just to give everyone comfort - I was prescribed Trepiline a year and a half ago for nerve pain by my neurologist. 25mg a day. Take it at night. Be consistent - same time - about 20h00. I experienced no side effects other than dry mouth in the mornings. I gained about 2kgs initially (no more) and then it stablised. As an aside, I also suffer from insomnia and the added benefit is that I haven't slept as well in years. If I needed to go to the toilet during the night I was able to wake up easily and just dropped off again. It's a wonder drug as far as I am concerned - no nerve pain while I was on it. Took about 6 weeks to kick in. I was told by my doctor to stop taking it on 1 October this year. Was easily able to do this (no dependancy) although the insomnia has returned.
