desipramine and Constipation

desipramine has been researched along with Constipation in 8 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.

Constipation: Infrequent or difficult evacuation of FECES. These symptoms are associated with a variety of causes, including low DIETARY FIBER intake, emotional or nervous disturbances, systemic and structural disorders, drug-induced aggravation, and infections.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"This single-center, 12-week, double-blind, prospective, controlled-concentration study randomized 121 chronic back pain patients without major depression to active placebo (benztropine mesylate) or to predetermined low, medium, or high concentrations of desipramine (targets were 50, 110, and 150 ng/mL, respectively) or fluoxetine (targets were 100, 200, and 400 ng/mL, respectively)."5.12Efficacy of noradrenergic and serotonergic antidepressants in chronic back pain: a preliminary concentration-controlled trial. ( Abramson, I; Atkinson, JH; Capparelli, EV; Garfin, SR; Matthews, SC; Slater, MA; Wallace, MS; Zisook, S, 2007)
" The aim of this study was to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) against education (EDU) and desipramine (DES) against placebo (PLA) in female patients with moderate to severe FBD (irritable bowel syndrome, functional abdominal pain, painful constipation, and unspecified FBD)."5.10Cognitive-behavioral therapy versus education and desipramine versus placebo for moderate to severe functional bowel disorders. ( Akman, D; Bangdiwala, SI; Blackman, CJ; Bradshaw, B; Dalton, CB; Diamant, NE; Drossman, DA; Duncan, S; Emmott, S; Frusciante, K; Hu, Y; Jia, H; Koch, GG; Le, T; Li, JZ; Meyer, K; Mikula, K; Morris, CB; Proffitt, V; Toner, BB; Whitehead, WE, 2003)
"Somatic side effects of antidepressant medications and of depression and anxiety were quantified in depressed patients before and after 4 weeks of treatment with amitriptyline (N = 11), or desipramine (N = 12)."3.66Somatic symptoms in depression and antidepressants. ( Claghorn, JL; Mathew, RJ; Reck, JJ; Thapar, R; Weinman, ML, 1983)
"Treatment with desipramine results in differing degrees of subjective side effects and changes in vital signs across the life cycle."2.41Side effects of desipramine and age. ( Bilich, C; Galanter, CA; Walsh, BT, 2002)
"Symptomatic orthostatic hypotension, the most common side effect encountered, occurred early in treatment at low desipramine plasma concentrations."1.26Major adverse reactions during desipramine treatment: relationship to plasma drug concentrations, concomitant antipsychotic treatment, and patient characteristics. ( Bock, J; Bowers, MB; Jatlow, PI; Nelson, JC; Quinlan, DM, 1982)
