Answer 1

I am not sure what the question is so if I am well of base with my answer I am sorry. I know its hard but if you have a long term illness of any kind its best to stay on medication. I have a number of disorders and all are long term life long illnesses that I have to take medication for. I know that the sleeping to much can be hard and have you not tried a different medication as there is a lot of them out there that might be of help to you. good luck your not lone take care Lisa

Answer 2

Tofranil is an older anti-depressant. I assume you mean by "pain" either depression or anxiety. In either case a newer medication for depression or anxiety may be indicated. Also it is often beneficial in both depression cases and those involving anxiety to undergo "talk therapy" with a psychotherapist to discover and help eliminate the causes of your depression and/or anxiety. Until you identify the cause of the condition it probably won't "go away" as medications only dull the symptoms and do not eliminate them.

I am not a doctor so bring these matters up with yours and try to get him to identify what is causing the anxiety and/or depression or recommend a psychologist who can.

If the "pain" is not depression or anxiety but physical pain it may not be related to stopping the drug but another cause which if it persists should be investigated.

Good luck, good health, peace and love!
