How it Works

How Chlordiazepoxide, Imipramine, Trihexyphenidyl, and Trifluoperazine work Chlordiazepoxide, Imipramine, Trihexyphenidyl, and Trifluoperazine is a combination of four medications: Chlordiazepoxide, Imipramine, Trihexyphenidyl, and Trifluoperazine. Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine (BZD) that increases the action of GABA, a chemical messenger that suppresses abnormal and excessive activity of nerve cells in the brain. Imipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant that elevates the levels of chemical messengers in the brain, helping to regulate mood and treat depression. Trihexyphenidyl is an anticholinergic that acts on the nervous system to correct some of the chemical imbalances associated with Parkinson's disease. Trifluoperazine is a typical antipsychotic that works by blocking the action of dopamine, a chemical messenger in the brain that influences thoughts and mood.
