anon : imipramine is a tricyclic type antidepressant ,this class of antidepressant does not cause the The major side effects of SSRI'S ,I am glad that you found something that works for you , but the only reason that I posted this info is to inform poeple that antidepressants should be used as a last resort and not a magic cure ,I to have been on 5 different types of antidepressants paxil,celexa,wellbutrine,prozac,and zoloft over a two year period ,I was precribed paxil for anxiety and had never experienced depression untill discontinuing paxil and can honestly say that my depression got much worse after using them .since having my amalgams removed my depression is much better and getting better every day .doctors have to start fixing the problem instead of just treating the symtoms ,they have to get back to basics and do no harm.
