User Reviews for imipramine oral

I was given this drug for problems swalling food. I still have the swalling problem, but now I have trouble acheving/mainting an erections. I have not ejoculated since I started taking the pill. I usually ejoculate at least once a day, but no more. the idea is still there, it just doesn't work.

Honestly still have the same depressing moods... Insomia maxing out, severe hallucinations at nite,(thats when I take it 150mg green pill),especially the 1st month,disturbing dreams,... willing to give it more time.

I've had terrible sweating with the least bit of exertion, and a fever. I'm disappointed, because the drug was working.

Used for esophagus problems and caused too many side effects--naseau, insomnia, dry mouth, taste change, gas, dizzzy, weak

Believe it or not I was given this medication in conjunction with injections for back pain. It did not help for that, of course, but it did help with bladder control.(prostate surgery) It made me sleepy so I just started taking it at bed time and gives me a good nights sleep

This was prescribed by a phyc. at 50 mg qd to a 5 yr. old. He still has nightmares, goes into rages and tells you what he will do if he does not get his way. Every day is a challange. in a second, he will change and become the sweetest boy around, thoughtful, loving to his younger siblings. He did come from an abusive home and we adopted all 3 boys and they are fine. He sneaks around at night and of course gets the other 2 in trouble. When he goes into his rages, I can't tell you how much he has broken. He is also on Intunir ER 3 mg. He shakes cannot sleep but will go to sleep in school. I feel really bad for himRead More Read Less

after doctor reccomended doubling dosage to 25mg twice a day it helped my bladder control but I'am feverish, joint pain, leg muscles hurting ,a little paranoid , high white blood count in urine and generally worried. My Gp told me to reduce dosage then stop. Also waiting results of blood test. Anybody have similar effects while takihg this drug for bladder control?

causes constipation

This is crazy , I read the last description of this medication and I would really like to know what does depression disorders have to do with this, and is this medication going to help me or hurt me,as of right now I am more phsyco, I would definetly hurt somebody, I'm a freak and people don't listen to me, I really need help screaming don't work so maybe if I freaked out on somebody they will listen to my multibile personalities.......

After being diagnosed with Panic Disorder in 2005 and going on to develop Agoraphobia years later I first went to my primary care and he prescribed me Effexor for 2 years which didn't really control the severity of my attacks. I was then put on Paxil and had to discontinue from a bad side effect and then finally Lexapro which I took for 2 years. It helped some but gave me nightmares and taking it before bed kept me up all night for those 2 years which was horrible! I was then recommended to see a Psychiatrist last year for my condition which was getting worse and I was having between 30-40 panic attacks a day (yes that's not a typo unfortunately). I was miserable, had to quit college, work and could barely function even at home! Had attacks even if I stayed home and avoided my triggers (driving, going into stores or malls, large buildings, church and even in the shower), my life had come to a screeching halt and I had no desire to live anymore and felt I had no purpose in living! Well, now I've been on Imipramine for 11 months and it has turned my life around and I credit this med for saving my life and the Dr who put me on it of course!!! There are the side effects like dry mouth, nausea, stomach pain, headaches, sensitivity to sunlight, dizziness & lightheaded, sweating, etc. but after a few months of slowing upping my dose my body has become use to the drug and all I can see now is how I am almost a different person and have much fewer, less severe, easier to handle panic attacks when I do have them which depends on my stress level now. I maybe have 1 a week or less and depend much less on taking my Xanex with the 3-4 .25 mg a day before! I have gone 2-3 weeks without the Xanex now and have recently hit my highest dose of Imipramine at 100mg and that seems to work best for me. For those of you who suffer from terrifying Panic Disorder and are not getting any relief, try this...I have reacted amazingly well to this and I hope you do too! DON"T GIVE UP!!!!Read More Read Less

Started taking imipramine for frequent panic attacks (1-2/week). It has worked very well. In the last three months, I've only had one panic attack, and with cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, I was able to drown that panic attack away. In the beginning, the side effects are kind of difficult to cope with such as dry mouth, lowered libido, and tremor. But after a few weeks, the drug is quite effective.

helps me sleep but it seems to cause chest pains requiring the use of nitro.I have had a triple bypass

I was prescribed this drug to treat dry ejaculation. I have beena diabetic for 16 years and due to nerve damamge I was unable to get my wife pregnant. This drug was immediately effective, however over time (about 4 months) the drug stopped having the desired effect and began giving me horrible stomahc pains and diarrhea. I think I would rather adopt :-)

This drug has been a lifesaver for me. I've been diagnosed with anxiety/depression and Imipramine has made all the difference in the world. I no longer have sleep problems, my mood is 100% improved, I'm happy all the time and I take pleasure in life. Thank God!

I take this medicine to reduce getting up to urinate at night. I have tried several other medicines with rather indifferent results. I take this medicine only when I have an episode of abnormally hight getting up at night. It seems to be effective in reducing the episodic variation, but does not reduce getting up to less than about three times. I do have a problem with constipation for which I take a stool softener.

Dr. gave it to help with other med. to help with pain

I was prescribed this medicine after suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome for two years. I went to the doctor time and time again because of my sudden diarrhea every morning going to school. It got so bad that I would wake up about an hour before school just to use the bathroom so I wouldn't have to later, limiting my sleep. I started on 25mg but quickly grew an immunity to it, and am now at 150mg with only ever experiencing severe dry mouth and constipation (expected, better not going then always having too). If I forget to the take the medicine before bed though the next morning I go through what I assume are withdraws and feel absolutely horrible to the point I just want to stay in bed. The medicine has absolutely changed my life, I no longer suffer from IBS nor my mild insomnia.Read More Read Less

Both times i took this drug i eventually had to go to the hospital for severe abdominal pain. I didn't know for sure it was the immipramine because i was not told ab pain was a side effect. the drug worked wonders for my depression, ADHD and sleep. I experienced the usual side effects of dry mouth, bad constipation, sensetivety to the sun and heat (i burned way easier) as well as the not so common side effect of severe abdominal pain.

why is this drug used for bladder control it appears to be an antidepressent
