Abstract

Imipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant, is commonly used for managing nocturnal enuresis in paediatric and adolescent
populations. Although it is generally well-tolerated, rare adverse effects, including movement disorders, have
occasionally been reported. Generalized dystonia, however, is an exceedingly rare and unexpected complication
associated with imipramine.
