Other disorders treated with antidepressants

  • Chronic pain; amitriptyline in particular is very useful

  • Migraine headache prophylaxis (tricyclics and SSRIs)

  • Attention deficit disorder used tricyclics in past, but rare now. SSRIs are beneficial and so is bupropion. Bupropion is a dopamine releaser and a good treatment choice bc it also treats depression.

  • Enuresis - tricyclics, esp imipramine

  • Smoking cessation – buproprion
