Doxepin is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) medicine used to treat depression, anxiety disorders, and insomnia (trouble sleeping). It works by increasing the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain — chemicals that help regulate mood, emotions, and sleep patterns.
Imipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) medicine used to treat depression, anxiety, and certain types of nerve pain. It is also prescribed for bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) in children.

Isocarboxazid is an antidepressant medicine that belongs to the class of Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs). It is used to treat depression and anxiety disorders, especially in patients who do not respond well to other antidepressants.

Selegiline is a Monoamine Oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibitor used for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and major depressive disorder. It helps increase levels of dopamine in the brain, improving movement control, coordination, and overall mood. Often used alone or along with Levodopa or Carbidopa, it enhances motor function and reduces symptoms like stiffness, tremor, and slowness of movement.
