I've been prescribed Surmontil 100mg Capsules for my depression, and I'm feeling a bit anxious about starting a new medication. It's a tricyclic antidepressant, which I know can have some serious side effects, but I'm hoping the sedating effects will also help with my sleep issues. Has anyone else tried this? I'd love to hear about your experiences, good or bad. Also, any tips on managing potential side effects would be greatly appreciated. I'm a bit worried about the urgent side effects listed, so if anyone has had those or knows how to watch out for them, please share!

Hi everyone, I was recently prescribed Surmontil 50mg Capsules for depression. I've been reading about some of the potential side effects, especially the serious ones, and I'm a bit worried. Has anyone else had any issues similar to those listed (anything from trouble urinating, to hallucinating, to seizures)? I've also heard that it can cause drowsiness, which might help with sleep, but I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. Should I be concerned about this? I've been taking it for a few days and I think I'm starting to feel some of the minor side effects. Should I talk to my doctor about these? I'm wondering if any of these side effects are manageable or if they're something that I should try to avoid by switching medications.
