Withdrawing From Imipramine (Top voted first)

I've been on 25 mg of imipramine for 30 years. I've been withdrawing for almost 2 months by 10% per weeek. I had taken the 2% dose for 2 nights. On 3rd night woke up burning all over especially in back of head and gripped by extreme anxiety. Decided to go back up to 5% for a little bit. Still had symptoms; went to full strength again; still same symptoms about 3 to 5 hours after taking drug. These symptoms don't seem like withdrawal symptoms--brain zaps, emotionally unstable--that I'd been experiencing on withdrawal. I would appreciate any information or help.

Based on my research you may not have been experiencing withdrawal symptoms all along, but more over, general side effects of Imipramine.

I'm finding that much of the symptoms you mentioned are listed as side effects on the following gov. webpage:
nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a682389.html#side-effects

Have you considered trying any other alternative treatment options that might have less risks associated with it?
