TOFRANIL (IMIPRAMINE)

Treatment for Depression with Tofranil

Tofranil is a tricyclic antidepressant drug (TCA) prescribed to treat the emotional, physical, behavioral, and cognitive symptoms of depression. It is believed that depression is a result of an imbalance of brain chemicals called neurotransmitters that the nerves in your brain use to communicate with each other.

With Tofranil or generic Imipramine, and a strong support system in place, you will be able to jump back into life and take part in the things that you enjoy. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

How Tofranil Can Rebalance Your Brain Chemicals

Once inside your body, Tofranil is converted into Desipramine, another tricyclic antidepressant, where it can affect numerous neurotransmitter systems known to be the reason for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental and physical conditions. This drugs’ job is to slow down the “reuptake” or reabsorption of these neurotransmitters, including serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, and acetylcholine. This action allows more of these brain chemicals to stay active in your brain and improve your mood, motivation, sleep cycle, and so on.

Conditions Treated by Tofranil

Tofranil may also be prescribed for children over the age of seven to help stop nocturnal enuresis, known better as night-time bed-wetting. several factors can result in wetting the bed at night that range from having a small bladder to a medical condition such as diabetes. If your pediatrician feels that there are no underlying medical reasons for bed-wetting, Tofranil may be able to help your child with this embarrassing problem.

Imipramine generic is structurally similar to some muscle relaxants and has an analgesic effect that could be useful for treating certain pain conditions or it can also block the effects of acetylcholine on the bladder. By doing so, the gastrointestinal activity is decreased and urinary retention is increased. It may take Tofranil up to three weeks before you notice the effects, so patience is a must.

Before You Take Tofranil

Tell your doctor about other medical conditions or allergies you have and provide a list of any Rx drugs, OTC medicine, and dietary or vitamin supplements you are taking as there may be negative interactions when taken with Tofranil. There may be a risk to unborn or nursing babies so if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breast-feeding, your doctor will have to determine if Tofranil is the right medication for you.

Precautions for Tofranil

Until you know how Tofranil works in your body, use caution while operating a vehicle or taking part in any activity that requires you to be alert and in control. Always store your medications out of children’s sight and reach and never share with anyone else.
