For Depression "I started imipramine a few months ago for both depression and enuresis(two birds with one stone!) and have noticed positive changes in both areas. It completely eliminated the enuresis, and my mental health is better than it has been in years. I have not noticed any negative side effects!"

For Panic Disorder "Suffered from panic attacks and was give imipramine for treatment…it worked and stopped the attacks giving me time to learn how to deal with them. I had to stop as I was unable to take the medicine and hold a CDL. I have been free for many a year and the drug worked as expected."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I started taking the 10MG of imipramine in September 2020 for my IBSD. I was told to take it at night because it makes you drowsy. I had the total opposite reaction. It kept me up at night and did not make me drowsy at all. I ended up switching to take it in the morning instead. By November I noticed that the low dosage was not helping much with my IBSD. My doctor upped my dose to 25MG and I started having HORRIBLE night sweats. I was waking up EVERY HOUR at night drenched in sweats. Other than that, this medication really worked for my stomach when the dose was at 25MG. I wish I did not have this horrible side effect!"

For Panic Disorder "People are so different ! I've been on Imipramine / Tofranil now for 44 years. It literally saved my life and career. Endogenous ( from within ) not Reactive Anxiety/Panic/ Depressive Disorder from my Mom set in around 19 years old. Periodically I would quit only to get slammed and take months to get better again. Then I tried the new stuff Prozac"
