            Warnings

            Black Box Warnings

            In short-term studies, antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children, adolescents, and young adults (<24 yr of age) taking antidepressants for major depressive disorders and other psychiatric illnesses

            This increase was not seen in patients aged >24 years; a slight decrease in suicidal thinking was seen in adults >65 years

            In children and young adults, risks must be weighed against the benefits of taking antidepressants

            Patients should be monitored closely for changes in behavior, clinical worsening, and suicidal tendencies; this should be done during initial 1-2 months of therapy and dosage adjustments

            The patient’s family should communicate any abrupt changes in behavior to the healthcare provider

            Worsening behavior and suicidal tendencies that are not part of the presenting symptoms may require discontinuation of therapy

            This drug is not approved for use in pediatric patients

            Contraindications

            Hypersensitivity

            Severe cardiovascular disorder

            Narrow angle glaucoma

            Any drugs or conditions that prolong QT interval

            Acute recovery post-MI

            Coadministration with serotonergic drugs

            • Do not use MAOIs concomitantly or within 14 days before initiating trimipraminw or within 14 days after discontinuing trimipramine
            • Symptoms include tremor, myoclonus, diaphoresis, nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, hyperthermia with features resembling neuroleptic malignant syndrome, seizures, rigidity, autonomic instability with possible rapid fluctuations of vital signs, and mental status changes that include extreme agitation progressing to delirium and coma
            • Starting trimipramine in a patient who is being treated with linezolid or IV methylene blue is contraindicated because of an increased risk of serotonin syndrome
            • If linezolid or IV methylene blue must be administered, discontinue trimipramine immediately and monitor for CNS toxicity; may resume imipramine 24 hr after last linezolid or methylene blue dose or after 2 weeks of monitoring, whichever comes first

            Cautions

            BPH, urinary/GI retention, increases IOP, hyperthyroidism, open-angle glaucoma, seizure disorder, brain tumor, respiratory impairment

            Clinical worsening and suicide ideation may occur despite medication

            Risk of anticholinergic side-effects

            Risk of mydriasis; may trigger angle closure attack in patients with angle closure glaucoma with anatomically narrow angles without a patent iridectomy

            TRIMIPRAMINE - ORAL

            (trye-MI-pra-meen)

            COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Surmontil

            WARNING: Antidepressant medications are used to treat a variety of conditions, including depression and other mental/mood disorders. These medications can help prevent suicidal thoughts/attempts and provide other important benefits. However, studies have shown that a small number of people (especially people younger than 25) who take antidepressants for any condition may experience worsening depression, other mental/mood symptoms, or suicidal thoughts/attempts. It is very important to talk with the doctor about the risks and benefits of antidepressant medication (especially for people younger than 25), even if treatment is not for a mental/mood condition.Tell the doctor right away if you notice worsening depression/other psychiatric conditions, unusual behavior changes (including possible suicidal thoughts/attempts), or other mental/mood changes (including new/worsening anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, irritability, hostile/angry feelings, impulsive actions, severe restlessness, very rapid speech). Be especially watchful for these symptoms when a new antidepressant is started or when the dose is changed.

            USES: This medication is used to treat depression. It may help improve your mood and sense of well-being and allow you to enjoy everyday life more. Trimipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant. It works by restoring the balance of certain natural substances (neurotransmitters) in the brain.

            HOW TO USE: Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking trimipramine and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually 1 to 3 times daily. If taking this medication once daily, take it at bedtime to decrease the risk of drowsiness. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Your doctor may start you at a low dose and gradually increase your dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.This medication does not work right away. It may take 2 to 4 weeks before you experience the full benefits.Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time(s) each day.Keep taking this medication even if you feel well. Do not suddenly stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when the drug is abruptly stopped. Nausea, headache and a feeling of being ill may also occur. Your dose may need to be gradually decreased.Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.

            SIDE EFFECTS: See also the Warning section.Dizziness, drowsiness, difficulty urinating, headache, weakness, changes in appetite/weight, dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.To reduce the risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.To relieve dry mouth, suck on (sugarless) hard candy or ice chips, chew (sugarless) gum, drink water or use a saliva substitute.To prevent constipation, eat dietary fiber, drink enough water, and exercise. You may also need to take a laxative. Ask your pharmacist which type of laxative is right for you.Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: mental/mood changes (such as confusion, depression, nervousness), numbness/tingling of the hands/feet, ringing in the ears, sexual problems, shakiness (tremors), severe vomiting/constipation, severe headache, pain/redness/swelling of arms or legs.Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: slow/fast/irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness, fainting, seizures, trouble speaking, weakness on one side of the body, eye pain/swelling/redness, widened pupils, vision changes (such as seeing rainbows around lights at night), chest/jaw/left arm pain.This medication may increase serotonin and rarely cause a very serious condition called serotonin syndrome/toxicity. The risk increases if you are also taking other drugs that increase serotonin, so tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the drugs you take (see Drug Interactions section). Get medical help right away if you develop some of the following symptoms: fast heartbeat, hallucinations, loss of coordination, severe dizziness, severe nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, twitching muscles, unexplained fever, unusual agitation/restlessness.This medication may rarely cause serious blood problems (such as agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia) or liver problems. Tell your doctor right away if you notice any of the following serious side effects: easy bleeding/bruising, signs of infection (such as sore throat that doesn't go away, fever), stomach/abdominal pain, dark urine, yellowing eyes/skin.A very serious allergic reaction to this product is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.In the US -Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.

            PRECAUTIONS: See also the Warning section.Before taking trimipramine, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other tricyclic antidepressants (such as amitriptyline, imipramine); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: blood problems (such as agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia), breathing problems (such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder-COPD), diabetes, electroshock therapy, personal or family history of glaucoma (angle-closure type), heart problems (such as recent heart attack, arrhythmias, coronary artery disease), intestinal problems (such as chronic constipation, ileus), kidney problems, liver problems, other mental/mood conditions (such as bipolar disorder, psychosis), family history of mental/mood conditions (such as suicide, bipolar disorder), seizures, conditions that may increase your risk of seizures (such as bulimia, organic brain disease, alcohol withdrawal), overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), problems urinating (urinary retention, enlarged prostate).Trimipramine may cause a condition that affects the heart rhythm (QT prolongation). QT prolongation can rarely cause serious (rarely fatal) fast/irregular heartbeat and other symptoms (such as severe dizziness, fainting) that need medical attention right away.The risk of QT prolongation may be increased if you have certain medical conditions or are taking other drugs that may cause QT prolongation. Before using trimipramine, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the drugs you take and if you have any of the following conditions: certain heart problems (heart failure, slow heartbeat, QT prolongation in the EKG), family history of certain heart problems (QT prolongation in the EKG, sudden cardiac death).Low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood may also increase your risk of QT prolongation. This risk may increase if you use certain drugs (such as diuretics/"water pills") or if you have conditions such as severe sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting.
