Avatar f tn I took imipramine for 2 years for post partum depression/ anxiety/ panic it worked great and i went off of it thinking i was fine. Now i am extremley anxious been diagnosed with GAD so am considering going back on it. I have tried 3 SSRI's since FEB of this year with no relief. So hopefully the imipramine works again if my dr lets me go back on it. She thinks it doesn't help with anxiety/panic . But i know i didnt have any panic/anxiety when i was on it.
Avatar n tn You should not stop 'cold turkey'. Go down to every other day, and do that for a couple of weeks, and then you can stop. It depends on how long you have taken it. If it hasn't been very long, it will be easy to get off, but then you may still be depressed. On the other hand if you have taken it as long as I have, well...I don't think I can ever get off it again, because it has totally altered my brain chemistry.
446474 tn?1446347682 In a drug safety communication, the agency warned that there are important drug interactions between boceprevir (Victrelis) and anti-HIV protease inhibitors boosted with ritonavir (Norvir). Boceprevir, approved last year, is a novel direct-acting agent targeting the NS3/4A protease of hepatitis C. It's taken with ribavirin and pegylated interferon-alfa to treat genotype 1 disease.
Avatar n tn I recently started taking a low dose of Imipramine (25 mg) and have been having trouble with dreams and staying asleep. My dreams seem very real and i wake often with a odd tingling feeling and i feel a little "out of body". I was prescribed Imipramine for anxiety, not depression, but i wondered if anyone else has the same problem. I take one only before bed to help with sleep, so i don't understand why it is causing me to have problems sleeping.
Avatar f tn Because imipramine has been around so long, even clueless docs know its downsides and upsides, and at least for me, quitting imipramine was a whole lot easier than quitting ssris.

Avatar f tn Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients. MANAGEMENT: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression.
Avatar f tn Has worked for me for years. Just recently he started me on imipramine needless to say I was in the ER Saturday and Sunday. As long as I have my Xannex I'm great! No anxiety or depression. Take them responsible and you should be able to live a normal life.

446474 tn?1446347682 Specifically, the agency said atorvastatin is contraindicated with tipranavir plus ritonavir, and telaprevir and should be used with caution -- at the lowest effective dose -- among patients taking lopinavir plus ritonavir. For patients taking darunavir plus ritonavir, fosamprenavir, forsamprenavir plus ritonavir, or saquinavir plus ritonavir, the atorvastatin dose should be limited to 20 mg daily. In patients taking nelfinavir, daily atorvastatin should not exceed 40 mg.
Avatar n tn s - then blood pressure started to go up a little. Went off imipramine and doctor put me on lexapro - now have gained a little weight, am tired, clenching jaw at night, blood pressure back down, but pulse is constantly in the 50's which is freaking me out a little. Have been on lexapro for 6 months now - libido gone also....thinking about weaning off the lexapro and taking nothing or going back to the imipramine. Has anyone else experienced the low heart rate while on it?

1396756 tn?1283523477 I recently started taking imipramine 25mg at nite for my anxiety and it makes me feel like i took a diet pill! I feel jittery, spacey, and not hungry. It has the same effects as phentermine. Im just wondering if this is normal? Next week im supposed 2 go up 25 more mg a day then the week after 25 more. Will this subside once its in my system? Also, I was a binge eater w my deppression, so is it just going away?
Avatar m tn I recently started back on Imipramine for my OCD. it's day 3 now, and I have lots some feeling in my penis and cannot achieve an erection nearly as easily as I usually can. I am a 33 yr old male, in moderately good health, not over weight, and active. I know that sometime you should power through your side-effects, but this one is a little too scary for me.
Avatar f tn I took Tofranil (the brand name med) 100 mg for panic disorder from 1994 to 2004 and always responded well to it. I was switched to Lexapro in 2004, due to wanting to attempt a pregnancy. I took the Lexapro for 5-6 years, but it eventually became ineffective at blocking my panic. The doctor switched me back to Imipramine (because Tofranil brand name is so expensive) and since I've begun taking it I notice many side effects I never experienced while taking the brand name med.
Avatar n tn I tried reducing my imipramine dosage about the time the tremor began but then went back up to my original dose. The tremor continued and seems to be getting worse. Ive read that imipramine can cause tremors but find it hard to believe it would start after all these years. I saw a neurologist and was diagnosed with an essential tremor. he tried me on propranolol 120mg but it didn't really help...

Avatar m tn So now I have been prescribed imipramine to help with my anxiety and IBS. However, since being on imipramine for about a year my "IBS" has gotten worse. Rather then occasional bowel issues, I now have daily bowel issues generally causing me bad cramping, bloating, constipation and nausea. All of this along with the previously mentioned problems cause by previous anxiety medications.

802234 tn?1237830136 My 34 year old son is taking 150 mg imipramine, 6 (1mg) Clonozapam, and 400mg Seroquel, (down from 600 mg) per day. His side effects are weakness, irregular heartbeat and eye problems. One of his eyes has gotten so bad that he may have to get a cornea transplant. I cannot say for sure if the meds caused his eye problems, but he had perfect vision all during school and according to my research seroquel has been know to cause lens problems in the eyes.

Avatar f tn I should also mention that I had a clear colonoscopy which is great. However, the pain never really seemed to be lower- it's between my navel and rib cage often radiating to my back. The diarrhea is sticky and either black or grey and it burns. I tested negative for occult blood. Rarely with the dry heaving fits do I vomit, but when I do it is dark purple or greyish.
Avatar m tn I failed some memory test at the neuro, so I also have a 8 hour neuropsychological evaluation. They have tried me on SSRIs and SNRIs and they are total **** drugs for me. I gave them a chance, but they are bad for me. I've tested positive for Lyme disease so that's why they are making sure I don't have lesions on the brain or what-not. I've never been pro-pharmaceuticals, and I prefer natural stuff, but at this point I want something powerful that will treat my symptoms.
977053 tn?1248490023 My doc added Imipramine to my meds. I take Zoloft 50mgs in the AM w/Buspar and Imipramine (working me up to 150 mgs) in the PM w/ Buspar with tranquilizers as needed. I fine the Imipramine has a calming effect. Not sure if it is true, but it seems to work for me to get to sleep. Keep us posted. All my meds were recently switched so I am not sure which one is working the best yet.
