IMIPRAMINE HCL  (IMIPRAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE):  This medication is used to treat depression. It is also used with other therapies for the treatment of nighttime bed-wetting (enuresis) in children. Using this medication to treat depression may improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level and may help restore your interest in daily living. Imipramine can help your child control nighttime bed-wetting. Imipramine belongs to a class of medications called tricyclic antidepressants. It works by restoring the balance of certain natural substances (neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine) in the brain. For bed-wetting, this medication may work by blocking the effect of a certain natural substance (acetylcholine) on the bladder.   FDA Approval Date: 1990-06-05 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  Depression Dry mouth, some blurred vision. My doctor says Tofranil-PM is the most balanced anti-depressant on the market, and its been available for like 40 years or something! Anyway, it acts on both serotonin and norepinephrine, which Effexor XR says it does, but doesn't. Anyhow, Tofranil-PM has changed my life. Everyone with depression should try it. F 44 1 years

 5  ADD It definitely caused tiredness, I'm not sure, but it may have also caused some weight gain, reddness in the face, and a dry mouth (which causes you to have bad breath). I've been taking it for so long, that I don't remember if things were different before I took it. Also, I take a fairly low dosage (75 mg daily) so my side effects may not be as bad as others. After I began taking this medication in the sixth grade, I went from a B and C student with tremendous difficulty studying, to being a straight A student. I'm going into my second year of college, and I don't know if I would have made it this far without the drug. I do know that for a brief period of time five years ago I was taken off the medication (the doctor said that I was cured of my ADD). My grades and studying habits took a nose-dive. M 19 8 years
