Key takeaways
Maprotiline and desipramine are both medications used to treat depression, but they belong to different classes. Maprotiline was a tetracyclic antidepressant, but is no longer available in the U.S. Desipramine, sold under the brand name Norpramin, is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). Maprotiline was also used for anxiety associated with depression, but it has been discontinued. Desipramine is still available and is typically taken once a day, with doses adjusted based on your response and side effects. Desipramine is available as a lower-cost generic. Common side effects of desipramine include sleepiness, confusion, and weight gain, and it can interact with alcohol and other medications.
