I know that imipramine is one of the standard meds for female urinary problems, particularly incontinence, but I don't know if a doctor would use it in this kind of situation, which is really kind of the opposite sort of thing. For men with slow urine streams from prostate issues, the standard drugs are Flomax/tamsulosin, Hytrin/terazosin, and Cardura/doxazosin. These all blockade alpha-1 adrenergic receptors in the prostate, and I believe also in the bladder neck.Todd
