Imipramine: The prototypical tricyclic antidepressant. It has been used in major depression, dysthymia, bipolar depression, attention-deficit disorders, agoraphobia, and panic disorders. It has less sedative effect than some other members of this therapeutic group.
imipramine : A dibenzoazepine that is 5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine substituted by a 3-(dimethylamino)propyl group at the nitrogen atom.

Sciatica: A condition characterized by pain radiating from the back into the buttock and posterior/lateral aspects of the leg. Sciatica may be a manifestation of SCIATIC NEUROPATHY; RADICULOPATHY (involving the SPINAL NERVE ROOTS; L4, L5, S1, or S2, often associated with INTERVERTEBRAL DISK DISPLACEMENT); or lesions of the CAUDA EQUINA.

"The effect of long-term administration of imipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant, on the phosphorylation status of cyclic adenosine monophosphate-responsive element-binding protein (CREB), mitogen-activated protein kinase family members, and phospholipase γ-1 (PLCγ-1) was investigated in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord following peripheral nerve lesion."1.39Long-term antidepressant treatment inhibits neuropathic pain-induced CREB and PLCγ-1 phosphorylation in the mouse spinal cord dorsal horn.
