Effectiveness

How Surmontil Affects PatientsTrimipramine is a type of antidepressant that works by influencing the levels of two important brain chemicals, norepinephrine and serotonin. It takes a few weeks to experience the full effects of this drug. It is also used to treat pain, particularly nerve-related pain. It is thought to work by altering certain receptors in the brain and influencing the opioid system, which helps to reduce pain. Finally, it is sometimes used to prevent migraines, though it is not effective in treating a migraine once it has started.
How Surmontil works in the bodyTrimipramine works differently than other antidepressants. It works by blocking the reabsorption of two important chemicals in the brain: norepinephrine and serotonin. This allows these chemicals to stay in the brain longer, which leads to an antidepressant effect.

Surmontil Reviews: What are patients saying about Surmontil?

1.7Patient Review

Surmontil for Depression
I was diagnosed with acute depression following a heart attack and triple bypass surgery in 1989. My treating psychiatrist prescribed me Surmontil, which I took as directed. However, I found that I was very fatigued all day long and still needed to sleep for several hours during the day on top of a full night's sleep. Additionally, I experienced frequent irregular heartbeats and palpitations.
