Tofranil (imipramine) for Primary Nocturnal Enuresis: I used this most of my childhood and it didn't really work. 0 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Tofranil (imipramine) for Interstitial Cystitis: For 3 years I have been battling bladder cancer. My bladder has shrunk, the pain has been great, the need to urinate is every 15 minutes or so. I have had 9 biopsies, some malignant and more recently 3 in a row benign. I have interstitial cystitis and started using Tofranil 5 months ago. Over the course of those 5 months Tofranil has gradually eliminated the pain and lengthened the time to urinate to once per hour. To me, it is a miracle drug and I continue to take it with no side effects whatsoever. 0 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Tofranil (imipramine) for Panic Disorder: I had suffered with panic attacks since I was around 14 years old. There came a time when I had shock treatments because back in the 60's not much was known about these kinds of illnesses. Later on, I became completely housebound for 8 years. I heard about Tofranil and decided to try it. Within 3 weeks I was able to not only get out of my house but go about 3 blocks away. It takes time, but if it had not been for Tofranil combined with Xanax I would still be home bound. It works, no two ways about it. When nothing else did. The only side effects were sleepiness until it gets into your system (2 weeks for me) and dry mouth. But for me that was nothing to getting my life back. 4 user(s) found this comment helpful.

Tofranil (imipramine) for Depression: At first this medicine seemed great. Was taking it for depression and generalized anxiety disorder. After a week on the lowest dose I started having bad side effects. I was shaving one morning and noticed my face, lips and arm felt numb. Doctor reduced my dosage to 10mg that worked okay for a week then same side effects. 3 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

imipramine for Night Terrors: I take Imipramine for Cataplexy and Night Terrors. For cataplexy, Imipramine is by far the most effective treatment my doctor has tried, as it has eliminated about 70% of the attacks. As for night terrors, they are completely gone. However, if I take a nap during the day, I will have nightmares about half the time. I take 150mg just before bed. The first couple months I was faced with some side effects. If I didn't go to bed right after taking the medicine, I would be in a dazed state and could fall asleep standing up - that is gone. Erectile dysfunction and studdering were also present in the first 90 days or so. Both have disappeared. This is a drug you must give a little time before you see the benefits. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

imipramine for Pain: I have been on Imipramine for over 2 years and found it good for pain relief combined with Gabapentin. The only problem I have encountered is weight gain as it tends to increase my appetite. 12 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate
