Desipramine belongs to the family of medications called tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and is taken orally to treat symptoms related to depression. Other medications belonging to this family of drugs include imipramine (Tofranil) and amitriptyline (Endep, Elavil). Most of us are familiar that depression is a health condition wherein one suffers from unceasing feelings of obscurity and unhappiness. It is understood that unusual concentration of neurotransmitters (chemical substances used by nerve cells in the brain for communication with one another) is responsible for depression in a number of patients. The antidepressant drug desipramine works by lifting the mood by increasing the neurotransmitter levels in the brain. As imipramine is transformed into desipramine by the body, this medicament controls the antidepressant consequences of imipramine too. Desipramine was approved for sale and use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) way back in 1964.
