Specific Side Effects of Long-Term Imipramine Management of Panic Disorder

Panic disorder, like a sudden sandstorm in the desert, can leave people feeling overwhelmed and anxious. Imipramine, a medication used to manage panic disorder, can be a valuable tool, but it's important to understand its potential side effects. This study, like a meticulous desert explorer mapping the terrain of medication effects, examines the specific side effects of long-term imipramine treatment for panic disorder.

Long-Term Effects of Imipramine

The study found that dry mouth, sweating, and increased heart rate were common side effects of imipramine maintenance treatment. The researchers also found that weight gain was a significant side effect, while the likelihood of reporting sexual dysfunction decreased over time.

Managing Side Effects

It's important to discuss any potential side effects with your doctor. They can help you manage these effects and ensure you receive the best possible treatment.

Dr.Camel's Conclusion

Just as a camel can adapt to the harsh conditions of the desert, people with panic disorder can learn to manage the side effects of medication. This study provides valuable information for both patients and doctors, helping us better understand the specific effects of imipramine and navigate the path to recovery.
