desipramine and Drug Withdrawal Symptoms

desipramine has been researched along with Drug Withdrawal Symptoms in 49 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.

( Markou, A; Paterson, NE; Semenova, S, 2008)
" Our study indicates that the discontinuation of diazepam, even when given in moderate dosage over a relatively short period of time, may cause withdrawal reactions in combined antidepressant/diazepam treatment."2.66Withdrawal reactions to diazepam in combined imipramine/diazepam treatment of primary nonagitated depressed outpatients. ( Feet, PO; Larsen, S; Lillevold, PE; Robak, OH, 1988)

"Research has shown that enhancement of cannabinoid CB(1) receptor activity elicits an antidepressant-like response in the forced swim test (FST); however, the effects of chronic administration of cannabinoid agents in the FST are not well characterized."1.35Protracted cannabinoid administration elicits antidepressant behavioral responses in rats: role of gender and noradrenergic transmission. ( Gorzalka, BB; Hill, MN; Morrish, AC; Riebe, CJ, 2009)
"The literature is devoid of reports indicating that a reduction in the dosage or discontinuation of antidepressants of any chemical class produces symptoms of major depression within 2-4 d."1.28Symptoms of major depression: acute effect of withdrawing antidepressants. ( Del Medico, VJ; Dilsaver, SC; Halle, MH, 1991)

"Desipramine quickly reversed the withdrawal symptoms in both patients, although it did not prevent their future use of cocaine."1.27Desipramine in the treatment of hypersomnolence following abrupt cessation of cocaine use. ( Baxter, LR, 1983)
"Desipramine treatment instituted at a daily dosage of 75 mg for depressive equivalents of head, chest, and abdominal pain was increased to 1,000 mg daily over a 12-year interval with minimal side effects."1.26Withdrawal from long-term high-dose desipramine therapy. Clinical and biological changes. ( Brown, GM; Gupta, RN; Harman, J; Moldofsky, H; Murphy, JT; Stancer, HC, 1978)
"The chronic administration of several psychoactive drugs has been suggested to produce behavioral withdrawal syndromes in the absence of physical withdrawal."1.26Behavioral withdrawal following several psychoactive drugs. ( Annau, Z; Simpson, DM, 1977)
") + DMI treated controls were equally suppressed by various acute doses of morphine, but the DA-depleted group appeared to develop tolerance to the higher morphine dosage regimen (120 mg/kg, b."1.26Morphine-induced behavioral disruption in rats chronically depleted of brain dopamine. ( Chance, WT; Kallman, MJ; Rosecrans, JA; Spencer, RM; White, AT, 1979)
