Imipramine: Marketed as Tofranil, this drug belongs to a class of drugs called tricyclic antidepressants. It relaxes muscles and blocks nerve signals that might cause bladder spasms. Imipramine is also used to treat bedwetting in children.\n\nFDA Approved Uses: Depression.  The odds favor relief for endogenous depression - i.e. being depressed for no good reason.  Although this study shows Zoloft (sertraline) to be more effective and to suck less for non-melancholic depression.  It's also approved for childhood enuresis (you know, never being able to hold it in and constant bedwetting).\nOff-Label Uses:  Neuropathic and chronic pain (compare it to codeine in this study).  Somatoform pain disorder (where they think it's all in your head).  Migraines, although other TCAs might work better, presuming anticonvulsants don't do it for you.  Post traumatic stress disorder.  Panic/Anxiety disorders. \n\n  Behavioral disorders in dogs and cats are a common reason for pet owners to visit their veterinarian and a frequent cause of frustration for pet owners. Behavioral problems are also a common cause of euthanasia, especially when these problems involve unacceptable or dangerous animal behavior. \n\n  Currently, veterinarians are placing more emphasis on training and behavior modification of pets, and animal-behavior specialists have adopted drugs used in human-behavior treatment for animal use. Imipramine is one such drug. \n\n  Imipramine belongs to a general class of drugs known as tricyclic antidepressants. Other related drugs in this class include amitriptyline, nortriptyline, desipramine, and doxepin.\n\n  Imipramine increases brain levels of the nervous system messenger, or neurotransmitter, called serotonin. By increasing serotonin levels, behavior is modified. \n\n  Imipramine is a prescription drug and can only be obtained from a veterinarian or by prescription from a veterinarian.\n\n  This drug is not approved for use in animals by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but may be prescribed legally by veterinarians as an extra-label drug.

You have to understand that not all medications work for all patients. What works for me, may not work for you, and so forth. Also changes to the treatment plan may be needed at various times during the course of bipolar disorder to manage the illness most effectively. A psychiatrist should guide any changes in type or dose of medication. Be sure to tell the psychiatrist about all other prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, or natural supplements you may be taking. This is important because certain medications and supplements taken together may cause adverse reactions. As for the prices, it all varies on he type of insurance you have, or if you quqlify for assistance through the pharmacudical manufactuers. \n\n\n* Lithium, the first mood-stabilizing medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of mania, is often very effective in controlling mania and preventing the recurrence of both manic and depressive episodes.\n\n* Anticonvulsant medications, such as valproate (Depakote®) or carbamazepine (Tegretol®), also can have mood-stabilizing effects and may be especially useful for difficult-to-treat bipolar episodes. Valproate was FDA-approved in 1995 for treatment of mania.\n\n* Newer anticonvulsant medications, including lamotrigine (Lamictal®), gabapentin (Neurontin®), and topiramate (Topamax®), are being studied to determine how well they work in stabilizing mood cycles.\n\nAnticonvulsant medications may be combined with lithium, or with each other, for maximum effect.\n\n*Atypical antipsychotic medications, including clozapine (Clozaril®), olanzapine (Zyprexa®), risperidone (Risperdal®), quetiapine (Seroquel®), and ziprasidone (Geodon®), are being studied as possible treatments for bipolar disorder. Evidence suggests clozapine may be helpful as a mood stabilizer for people who do not respond to lithium or anticonvulsants.\n\n*If insomnia is a problem, a high-potency benzodiazepine medication such as clonazepam (Klonopin®) or lorazepam (Ativan®) may be helpful to promote better sleep. However, since these medications may be habit-forming, they are best prescribed on a short-term basis. Other types of sedative medications, such as zolpidem (Ambien®), are sometimes used instead.

There's prozac for depression which is what paxil is for. If no physical illness is found, you may be referred to a psychiatrist or psychologist, mental health professionals who are specially trained to diagnose and treat mental illnesses. Treatment for GAD most often includes a combination of medication and cognitive-behavioral therapy.\n\nMedication: Medicines are available to treat GAD and may be especially helpful for people whose anxiety is interfering with daily functioning. The medications most often used to treat GAD are from a class of drugs called benzodiazepines. These medications are sometimes referred to as "tranquilizers," because they leave you feeling calm and relaxed. They work by decreasing the physical symptoms of GAD, such as muscle tension and restlessness. Common benzodiazepines include Xanax, Librium, Valium and Ativan. Another medicine, BuSpar, also may be used to treat chronic anxiety. BuSpar works by affecting the activity of certain neurotransmitters, including serotonin. Unlike the benzodiazepines, BuSpar does not cause sedation (sleepiness) or lead to dependency. Antidepressants, such as Paxil and Effexor, are also being used to treat GAD. Best of Luck to you & God Speed!

Numerous medications, particularly mood stabiizers such as lithium, valproate, and tegretol, are used to treat bipolar disorder.  Psychotherapy is also used. \n\nProfessional counselling and psychotherapy, sometimes with hypnosis, is often the treatment of choice for multiple personality disorder.   \n\nThe corner stone when treating schizophrenia is with antipsychotic drugs, or neuroleptics, such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine), clozapine (Clozaril), haloperidol (Haldol),  \nrisperidone (Risperdal), olanzapine (Zyprexa), quetiapine (Seroquel), aripiprazole (Abilify).  \n\nIn the past electroconvulsive therapy and drastic measures such as lobotomy were used to treat many mental illnesses.  In the past hospitalization was used more frequently than today, often involuntary hospitalization.  People were sometimes considered "lunatics" and placed in "asylums". \n\nThese links give some interesting information.

I was prescribed Elmiron for IC but stopped taking it due to the fact that I was trying to get pregnant and it has a LOT of side effects. So far the best things for me are a pill like Detrol, (it helps lower the amount of times you have to go to the bathroom and also helps with bladder spasms) and I also take prescribed narcotic based pain medicine. Those two things, have helped give my life back. Do not be afraid to ask for help for pain relief if you have a lot of pain with your condition. If you are in severe pain, your body will not heal properly and depression can set in very quickly. I was on the brink of suicide before I went to one last doctor that actually helped me. This is a very real, and chronic disease and needs to be treated effectivley for you.
