Mixing Imipramine and Stimulants

"Can we keep our son on Imipramine to stop his bed-wetting, in addition to giving him a stimulant for his ADHD?"

by Larry Silver, M.D.


Imipramine enables the bladder to hold more urine at night. Often, you can discontinue imipramine after three months or so, and the bladder control will continue. If your son hasn't reached this point, it should be all right to continue the imipramine at night while your son takes a stimulant during the day. Ask your doctor about timing and doses.
