desipramine and Anxiety Disorders

desipramine has been researched along with Anxiety Disorders in 39 studies

Desipramine: A tricyclic dibenzazepine compound that potentiates neurotransmission. Desipramine selectively blocks reuptake of norepinephrine from the neural synapse, and also appears to impair serotonin transport. This compound also possesses minor anticholinergic activity, through its affinity to muscarinic receptors.
desipramine : A dibenzoazepine consisting of 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine substituted on nitrogen with a 3-(methylamino)propyl group.

Anxiety Disorders: Persistent and disabling ANXIETY.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To evaluate whether serotonin reuptake inhibition is critical to the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, 40 outpatients with a principal diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder were randomized in a double-blind fashion to 8 weeks of treatment with either the serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluvoxamine maleate (n = 21) or the norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor desipramine hydrochloride (n = 19)."9.06Specificity of serotonin reuptake inhibitors in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Comparison of fluvoxamine and desipramine. ( Charney, DS; Delgado, PL; Goodman, WK; Heninger, GR; Krystal, JH; Nagy, LM; Palumbo, J; Price, LH; Rasmussen, SA, 1990)
"Doxepin and desipramine at final doses of 188 and 173 mg/day, respectively, were compared in 36 volunteers with major affective or dysthymic disorder and chronic back pain."9.05Antidepressants in concomitant chronic back pain and depression: doxepin and desipramine compared. ( Benedetti, C; Bokan, JA; Butler, S; Phillips, M; Spengler, D; Ward, N, 1984)

( Benedetti, C; Bokan, JA; Butler, S; Phillips, M; Spengler, D; Ward, N, 1984)
" Among the more important recent discoveries are the efficacy of the tricyclic antidepressants for panic disorder and agoraphobia with panic attacks; the use of the monoamine oxidase inhibitors for the above disorders and for atypical depression and hysteroid dysphoria; the use of propranolol for anxiety disorders and for uncontrollable violent outbursts; the antianxiety and antipanic effects of clonidine; and the usefulness of lithium in treating schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and for emotionally unstable character disorders."4.76Newer uses for older psychotropic medications. ( Liebowitz, MR, 1982)
" However, we report the successful treatment of a case with desipramine and suggest that, because there is a link between depersonalization and anxiety disorders, tricyclic antidepressants may prove effective for depersonalization."3.67Desipramine: a possible treatment for depersonalization disorder. ( Kuperman, S; Noyes, R; Olson, SB, 1987)
"Ten cases are presented--two in detail--in which clonazepam was used successfully in patients with treatment-resistant panic disorder with or without agoraphobia."3.67Successful use of clonazepam in patients with treatment-resistant panic disorder. ( Rosenbaum, JF; Tesar, GE, 1986)
"Concerning the comorbid substance use, all the studies have included patients with alcohol use, none of them have dealt with cocaine, cannabis or nicotine use."2.82Clinical practice guideline on pharmacological and psychological management of adult patients with an anxiety disorder and comorbid substance use. ( Arranz, B; Arrojo, M; Becoña, E; Bernardo, M; Castells, X; Cunill, R; Flórez, G; Fonseca, F; Garriga, M; Goikolea, JM; González-Pinto, A; López, A; Sáiz, PA; San, L; Tirado-Muñoz, J; Torrens, M; Zorrilla, I, 2022)
"Desipramine-treated subjects showed gradual improvement over the course of the study, and the improvement in week 1 was not so strongly predictive of overall improvement."2.67Antidepressant or antianxiety? A study of the efficacy of antidepressant medication. ( Edwards, J; Fawcett, J; Fogg, L; Kravitz, HM, 1990)
"It is important to understand both the kinetic and the dynamic implications of dosing TCAs and BZs in the elderly, for whom these drugs are frequently prescribed."2.37Implications of dosing tricyclic antidepressants and benzodiazepines in geriatrics. ( Cutler, NR; Narang, PK, 1984)
"Global transient cerebral ischemia was performing with the four-vessels occlusion method."1.35Behavioral effects of four antidepressants on an ischemic rat model of emotional disturbances. ( Bantsiele, GB; Bentué-Ferrer, D; Bourin, M; Laviolle, B; Reymann, JM; Saïkali, S, 2009)
"Imipramine has been shown to reduce anxiety in patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)."1.31Therapeutic effects of imipramine are counteracted by its metabolite, desipramine, in patients with generalized anxiety disorder. ( Clark, CM; Hoehn-Saric, R; Kowalski, PA; McLeod, DR; Porges, SW, 2000)
"Desipramine was associated with a much higher frequency of jitteriness than was imipramine."1.27The jitteriness syndrome in panic disorder patients treated with antidepressants. ( Balon, R; Lycaki, H; Pohl, R; Yeragani, VK, 1988)
"In a 39-year-old man with Parkinson's disease and a history of anxiety disorders, anxiety-provoking situations such as group psychotherapy precipitated panic attacks and caused pronounced worsening of the parkinsonian symptoms."1.27Parkinson's disease complicated by anxiety. ( Ahlskog, JE; Black, JL; Routh, LC, 1987)
