Studies have shown that children and teenagers who take
antidepressants ('mood elevators') such as doxepin may be more likely to
think about harming or killing themselves or to plan or try to do so
than children who do not take antidepressants. Children younger than 18
years of age should not normally take doxepin.If your child’s doctor has
prescribed doxepin for your child, you should watch his or her behavior
very carefully, especially at the beginning of treatment and any time
his or her dose is increased or decreased. Your child may develop
serious symptoms very suddenly, so it is important to pay attention to
his or her behavior every day. Call your child’s doctor right away if he
or she experiences any of these symptoms: new or worsening depression;
thinking about harming or killing him- or herself or planning or trying
to do so; extreme worry; agitation; panic attacks; difficulty falling or
staying asleep; irritability; aggressive behavior; acting without
thinking; severe restlessness; frenzied abnormal excitement, or any
other sudden or unusual changes in behavior.Your child’s doctor will
want to see your child often while he or she is taking doxepin,
especially at the beginning of his or her treatment.Your child’s doctor
may also want to speak with you or your child by telephone from time to
time. Be sure that your child keeps all appointments for office visits
or telephone conversations with his or her doctor.Your child's doctor or
pharmacist will give you the manufacturer’s patient information sheet
(Medication Guide) when your child begins treatment with doxepine. Read
the information carefully and ask your child's doctor or pharmacist if
you have any questions. You also can obtain the Medication Guide from
the FDA website: http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/antidepressants/MG_template.pdf.Talk
to your child’s doctor about the risks of giving doxepin to your child. |

How should this medicine be used?
Imipramine comes as a tablet to
take by mouth. It is usually taken one or more times a day and may be taken with
or without food. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and

often than prescribed by your doctor.
