I was diagnosed with depression/panic & anxiety disorder several years ago. After trying all the new age products my doctor put me on Impramine and it was a life saver for me.

I was having bladder control problems and it was horrible. My OB Doc put me on this and I don't wake up 4-5 times a night to go to the bathroom nonetheless, have to go every 15 minutes throughout the day. It was miserable. This medication has helped me immensly with no major side effects. Minor - I don't notice either.

My GI doctor prescribed imipramine for my bowel problems. He said it is being used with patients that have IBS. It has helped to calm the muscles in my digestive system, lessening the sudeen urge to have a bowel movement. Although, I do expereince the side effects of dizziness quite frequently.

This was prescribed to my daughter who immediately started sweating prufusely everyday, was constipated for days on end, had severe mood changes and couldn't sleep at night. She also started having a fever every night after taking the drug. The doctor thought that all of this was ok. This was all on a very low dosage. I decided it was safer to let her wet the bed than go through this.

I had suffered with anxiety and depression for many years on and off. Then during a very difficult time I no longer could manage. I started taking this med. It took about 3 months before I received the full benefit. I was on this drug from 1994 until 2003 (I was afraid to go off of it). I have never gone back to depression and crippling anxiety like I had before taking imipramine. It is now 6 years since my last dose... I feel as though I was thrown a life line... life is good!

My 8 year old was prescribed this medication for bedwetting. I think it has given him anxiety and is making him feel very overwhelmed and depressed.

This is the only antidepressant that has ever worked for me. I have tried all of the SSRIs with negative result. I am currently on 75mg a day. I don't like the bad taste in my mouth or the sweating or constipation; however I am willing to deal with them. I take stool softener and drink lots of water, wear light clothing, and use breath mints/breath spray. I was very, very depressed. Imipramine has been a godsend for me.

This was prescribed for trigeminal neuralgia, but now have severe hyponatremia, low blood pressure, extreme heat, sweating, nausea, very weak and now anxiety attacks and vertigo. Originally was on 150mg, now down to 50mg and no relief in sight. I keep passing out due to low blood pressure. Anyone else have these wonderful side effects?

My doc.prescribed this for me after prostate surgery for cancer because I was leaking bad.I started out with 50 mg a day for 3 days & got up to 200mg a day before I quit leaking. Then I gradually came back to 50 mg a day and I did not leak. I always took it at night to ward off the side effects.
