A member asked:
I'm on lexapro (escitalopram) and clonazepam. i want to wean off of clonazepam slowly. why would i want to use melatonin plus tofranil instead of just melatonin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tofranil (imipramine): Very low dose of 5 to 10 mg. At bedtime helps ease the physical withdrawal symptoms.
