Amineptine

Uses

Amineptine is used in the treatment of depression, anxiety, bed-wetting, obsessive-compulsive disorder, insomnia, and neuropathic pain. It is indicated for patients who are intolerant of or unresponsive to alternative treatment options for depression.

How it Works

Amineptine is a tricyclic antidepressant. It works by increasing the levels of chemical messengers in the brain that help regulate mood and treat depression.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Amineptine include increased heart rate, dryness in the mouth, weight gain, difficulty urinating, constipation, and orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing).

Expert Advice

  • It may take 4 to 6 weeks for Amineptine to start working. Keep taking it as prescribed.
  • Be aware that it may cause sleepiness. Take it at bedtime and avoid driving or engaging in activities requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.
  • Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Amineptine, as it may lead to excessive sleepiness.
  • Monitor your weight during treatment, as this medication can cause weight gain and increased appetite.
  • Consult your doctor if you notice sudden mood changes or develop suicidal thoughts.
  • The main dose should be taken at night, as this medicine may induce drowsiness or sleepiness.
  • It can take 2 to 3 weeks for Amineptine to start working.
  • Continue the treatment for at least 6 months after you feel better to prevent the return of depression.
  • If your doctor advises you to stop Amineptine, reduce the dose gradually over 4 weeks; do not discontinue it abruptly.
  • Avoid driving or operating machinery, as it may decrease alertness.
  • The addiction/dependence potential of Amineptine is very low.
  • Be aware that an overdose of Amineptine can be extremely dangerous.
