Surmontil Withdrawal

Surmontil® (trimipramine maleate) and other antidepressants are known to cause withdrawal symptoms in those who quickly stop taking their medicine.
 

Surmontil Withdrawal Symptoms

Surmontil withdrawal symptoms can include, but are not limited to:
 
  • Nausea
  • Headaches
  • Malaise (a general ill feeling).
     
In most people, these Surmontil withdrawal symptoms improve with time, without the need for any treatment.
 

Limiting Surmontil Withdrawal

If you are going to be taken off of Surmontil, your healthcare provider may decide to wean you off slowly to minimize the chances of developing withdrawals from Surmontil. If withdrawal symptoms do occur, your healthcare provider may return you to your previous Surmontil dosage and then wean you off even more slowly.
