Re: Imipramine (Tofranil) - Has anyone ever taken it?

I've been taking imipramine for more than 20 years (with a few holidays). It has worked consistently and very well for me. I've had breakthrough depressions but have always responded to a temporary addition of Xanax to pull me out.

Some people find the side-effects too difficult, but at a rate not much higher than that for SSRIs. The initial side effects are very strongly anticholinergic, sleepiness, dry mouth, sometimes vivid dreams, tremor. These mostly disappear or lessen once you get to an equilibrium dosage. If it works for you, take excellent care of your teeth; the dry mouth promotes caries strongly.

Best of luck,

Britt
