How much does imipramine cost (and what affects the price)?
Imipramine pricing varies mainly by whether you’re buying brand-name vs generic, the tablet strength, and where you fill the prescription (retail pharmacy vs mail order vs insurance). Your cash price can also change depending on pharmacy discounts and your location.
Generic vs brand: what typically happens to imipramine cost
In most markets, generic imipramine is cheaper than the brand version because it has lower manufacturer pricing and more competition. If you’re seeing a high price, it’s often because you’re getting the brand or a specific formulation that isn’t as widely stocked.
Can insurance or discount cards lower imipramine cost?
Yes. If you have coverage, your copay usually depends on your formulary tier. If you don’t have insurance or your copay is high, savings programs (pharmacy discount cards) can sometimes reduce the out-of-pocket cost—especially for generic imipramine.

What I need from you to give a more precise cost estimate
If you tell me:
- the dose (e.g., 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg),
- your form (tablet/capsule, and immediate-release vs other, if applicable),
- your quantity (how many tablets per month),
- your country (and ZIP/postal code if in the US),
- whether you want the cash price or with insurance,
I can help you narrow down what you should expect to pay and how to compare options.
