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 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."
