I had a bad depression after my 1st son was born. Went on Imipramine for 1 year, then went off when wanted to have 2nd baby. Developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Went back on Imipramine as it is constipating and doctor thought I should try this pill again as I was better on it. Now 21 years later I still take a very low dosage 20 mg for my IBS.

I had a bad depression after my 1st son was born. Went on Imipramine for 1 year, then went off when wanted to have 2nd baby. Developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Went back on Imipramine as it is constipating and doctor thought I should try this pill again as I was better on it. Now 21 years later I still take a very low dosage 20 mg for my IBS. Everytime I have tried to go right off, my IBS systems flare up (chronic diarrahea, naseau, cramping). Imipramine has been a life saver for me. Although I do worry about what the long term effects are, being on this drug for so long. Like what harm is it doing to internal organs, kidneys etc., if any? I guess if I didnt worry about stuff like that I wouldnt have IBS!! Have to take good care of my teeth because of the dry mouth side effect. I am definitely better on this pill then off!

I was prescribed this medicine for Fibromyalgia and Chronic fatigue syndrome. It hasn't done much at all for my Fibro, but it has helped my CFS so much!

I was prescribed this medicine for Fibromyalgia and Chronic fatigue syndrome. It hasn't done much at all for my Fibro, but it has helped my CFS so much! I can sleep at night, but still wake up with my alarm and I'm alert all through the day! Honestly the fatigue was worse for my schooling than the pain from Fibro, because the fatigue prevented me from even going to class. But now even though I'm in pain, I'm not constantly exhausted and sleeping. It does cause me to yawn more than I used to, and I'm having constipation, but the benefits are worth it. Now I just have to find something to take with it for the Fibro. I recommend this medicine highly for those with CFS!

When I feel the headache on behind both ears then I know I have to take this medicine. It's help with the headache but I don't want to depend of this medicine all the time

I was given this drug for problems swalling food. I still have the swalling problem, but now I have trouble acheving/mainting an erections. I have not ejoculated since I started taking the pill. I usually ejoculate at least once a day, but no more. the idea is still there, it just doesn't work.
