Greetings,
I was away for a while as my luck
has not been of the Irish for some
months.My message here is for my friend, who
now on imipramine, does show some improvement
in mood, sleep and appetite.However, the weight is still
I would say near cachexia. And this
disturbs me. She is now taking imipramine
at 200mg instead of the desipramine which
was too weak.I would like to ask some of you here if
cachexia (severe and relatively sudden
weight loss) is related to chronic (20-yr.)
use of tricyclics. (Other conditions -
gall bladder operation some 4 yrs. ago,
lithium trial, then off that, then thyroid,
then off that, and Serzone, then off that,
not to mention about 20 other drugs in the
course of trying to treat depression.I would also like to apologize if I was
rude in any of my last posts.Thanks.
