What is Depsol (Imipramine HCL) used for?

Depsol (Imipramine HCL) is an oral tricyclic antidepressant used to treat patients who are suffering from depression. It balances levels of naturally occurring chemicals in the brain to prevent symptoms associated with this condition such as anxiety, feelings of worthlessness, feelings of guilt, or fatigue. This action may also make it useful for treating bedwetting in children over the age of seven. Your doctor may prescribe it for other unlisted purposes, as well.

How should I use Depsol (Imipramine HCL)?

Depsol (Imipramine HCL) is normally taken once daily at a dosage of one tablet, but the best regimen will be determined by your doctor based on your health condition and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a full cup of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a snack or meal is recommended before use if you get an upset stomach. These should never be altered by splitting or crushing them as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. Ask your doctor any questions you have about the medicine to make sure you are using it correctly.
