    I use this drug for treating IBS. It has helped me get my life back. Before I couldn't go more than just a few miles from home and then sometimes had to go back home. Vacations were out of the question and as for work I wouldn't eat anything until I got to work and even then it was a very limited menu. Now I get to go on vactions with my family again, going to work isn't a problem and an all day shopping trip is no longer an issue. There are days, of course, that the IBS gets the better me but those days are much fewer apart. Published: September 19, 2007 ::

    I took this for chronic pain and not being able to sleep. I woke up 1st morning after with a weird taste in my mouth, headache, and leg cramps. Was confused until early evening and it was time for another, same thing next day and then quit. Was even afraid to drive. Would never take again. Tricyclics are old and bad anti-depressants , this is like elavil, same effects from that. You feel really hung-over, tired and dis-oriented Published: March 19, 2009 ::

    Comment from: Daddy MIke, 55-64 Male on Treatment for 10+ years (Patient)

    I suffered with panic disorders for nearly 14 years before I sought treatment. After six months on this drug I was almost back to normal. Combined with two years of therapy, I could function normally. I have been on this drug for nearly 20 years with no side effects. This drug has been a life saver for me.

    I was taking this medication for lack of sleep and migraine headaches/irritability. Everything was great for a few days other than being slightly disoriented, but that soon got worse and also had negative thoughts like loved ones passing away all the time. I stopped immediately after reading side effects. I will never take it again. Published: July 01, 2009 ::

    Comment from: drbeth, 65-74 Female on Treatment for 10+ years (Patient)

    I had depression off and on since my early 20's. In my 30's I was so depressed I could not fuction. A young doctor, just out of medical school, told me he thought I had biological depression and asked me to try Tofranil. In about a week I was no longer depressed. I have tried to get off the drug several times but each time I get down to 150mg my depression starts up again. I am now 70 years old and maintain on 200mg at bedtime. I have no sign of depression and have appropriate reactions. My life would not be worth living without Tofranil. The few side effects I have are a small price to pay. This drug has saved my life.
