Desipramine How to Take

Desipramine belongs to the class of medications known as tricyclic antidepressants. Desipramine helps to elevate mood and eliminate or reduce other symptoms associated with Depression. Tricyclic antidepressants such as desipramine work by increasing the amount of norepinephrine and serotonin neurotransmitters (chemical substances in the brain) available in certain parts of the brain.

Your doctor may have suggested Desipramine for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. As well, some forms of Desipramine may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Desipramine, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Desipramine without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Desipramine to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Desipramine if their doctor has not prescribed it.

Desipramine Dosage

For the treatment of depression in adults, the recommended starting dose of desipramine is 75 mg in divided doses, with or without food. This dose is usually increased gradually until the most effective dose is found. The usual adult dose is 100 mg to 200 mg daily. Doses above 300 mg daily are not recommended. It may take several weeks before the medication has its full effect so you should be patient with the results.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to take Desipramine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue on with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Desipramine at room temperature and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
