For Panic Disorder "I have been on maprotiline for over 20 years to treat my panic disorder. It was the only medication that worked and I tried just about all of them (tricyclic antidepressants, MAO inhibitors, Prozac, Wellbutrin). Hands down, this medication had the least side effects and the best coverage. I have been living a full life, panic free."

For Depression "I had been on Ludiomil for over 30 years, and they discontinued it. I went on the generic maprotiline, and now they're going to stop it too. I'm beside myself. I have about another month, and I will be out. This medicine saved my life. I can't believe they could just stop making it for those of us on it. They say it is not addictive, but let me tell you I have tried several times to get off of it, and I get all the same symptoms I had over 30 years ago on top of the withdrawal symptoms I'm going to get. Life is about to go bad again. The doctor and I talked, he says he won't mix maprotiline with any other medicine, and I'll have to be off it for 2 weeks before starting another medicine. This will put me into a severe depression. Nothing else works."

For Depression "I tried Ludiomil over thirty years ago when I was severely depressed. Of all the different antidepressants that had been prescribed for me (amitriptyline, doxepin, nortriptyline, desipramine, trazodone, etc.), Ludiomil was definitely the most effective of the ones I tried. Unfortunately, it, like Remeron (which I tried years later), raised my liver enzymes, and I was told by my physician (I was seeing a psychiatrist at the time) to discontinue using it. But I was lucky: just before I was scheduled to undergo electroshock therapy to cure my intractable depression, I learned that I was allergic to the milk protein, and after removing it from my diet, I never again had the deep melancholy I had experienced before."

For Major Depressive Disorder "This drug has and continues to save my life. Please ask the past manufacturer to start producing again. Have tried everything else under the sun, but I keep having/wanting to go back on Maprotiline. The side effects are less than most of today’s stuff still being prescribed. Drs, please help us! Thanks."
