Has anyone tried Imipramine? This is the recent treatment my doctor is trying me on. i pick it up today. Was supposed to try calcium channel blockers but I have low blood pressure and the calcium channel blockers cause swelling of the legs and we are trying to prevent that to begin with because the doc thinks i might have a blood clot in my right leg.
