In reply to Imipramine really that good?, posted by med-amorphosis on May 17, 2010, at 14:11:37
Imipramine was discovered by accident. One can infer that there was no experimental bias in evaluating it's effectiveness, as opposed to the way that drugs are developed today. They were giving the drug to psych patients and found out it made psychotic patients worse, but depressed patients much better. It does hit a lot of receptors and have some side effects, but it is very effective when given at proper dosages. It is considered very safe and doesn't lose effectiveness like SSRI's can over the years.
It helped me immensely.
