Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Medications: Depram (imipramine) is an older medication from the tricyclic antidepressant class. Seroxat (paroxetine) is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) antidepressant. I would chose paroxetine over imipramine for this purpose.
