Side effects of using tryptomer
I have been using tryptomer since last 3 months. !st month i have started with 10mg and now i am using 25mg. I was suffering from lymphocytic colitis, my doctor prescribed me mesacol od and tryptomer. I have to continue this medicine for 3 more months. Wierd thing is as my doctor warned me about the after effects of taking tryptomer i.e., sleepiness etc. I have never felt any sleepiness after taking the tablet. I usually take tablet at night around 10 and do my work. I sleep around 1 or 2 at night. I am concerned about my health and after/side effects of using tryptomer for such a long period. Please suggest me if i should continue taking tryptomer for 3 more months or not.

Tryptomer belongs to a particular class of antidepressants called tricyclic antidepressant which are prescribed for range of problems like depression, pain, sleep etc. Its prescription depends on the balance of risks and benefit. Like you have mentioned it does produce some side effects like sedation, blood pressure fluctuations, dry mouth, constipation etc. Long term prescription on a low dose is usually safe. If you have not experienced any specific side effects, benefiting from medicine and if you are otherwise healthy, you can carry on for few weeks.
