An Introduction to Surmontil Side Effects

As with any medicine, there are possible side effects with Surmontil^® (trimipramine maleate). However, not everyone who takes the antidepressant will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate the drug well. When people do develop Surmontil side effects, in many cases they are minor, meaning they require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.

(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Surmontil. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Surmontil side effects with you.)
