"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."

"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 150mg just before bed. The first couple 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 studdering 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."

Tofranil (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 normal 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 finely found and inexpensive medicine that actually worked from the first dose."
