Imipramine "I had panic attacks (Night Terrors) for over a year or more and had lost hope for medication to help. Since the first night of taking Tofranil, I slept normally without the 3-4 am wake-up (night terror) and have been free of them for 12 years without changing my medication. I am so thankful to have finally found an inexpensive medicine that actually worked from the first dose."

"I take Imipramine for cataplexy and night terrors. For cataplexy, Imipramine is by far the most effective treatment my doctor has tried, as it has eliminated about 70% of the attacks. As for night terrors, they are completely gone. However, if I take a nap during the day, I will have nightmares about half the time. I take 150 mg just before bed. The first couple of months, I was faced with some side effects. If I didn't go to bed right after taking the medicine, I would be in a dazed state and could fall asleep standing up - that is gone. Erectile dysfunction and stuttering were also present in the first 90 days or so. Both have disappeared. This is a drug you must give a little time before you see the benefits."

"This medicine works great for night terrors. I have suffered from night terrors for over 25 years. I took venlafaxine before and that seemed to work as well. I didn't like the side effects with that medicine. Imipramine, the only side effect I get is sweating sometimes during the daytime mostly. I am taking 10mg daily at night and this has eliminated my night terrors and I was experiencing them about 3-4 times a week. I would recommend this medicine."
