Did you go through the regular trial of several AD's (with no success) before you started on Desimpramine? I'm sort of gun shy after failing on everything in the newer class of meds (i.e. Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Serzone, Wellbutrin, Effexor, etc.). I'm uncertain of trying a TCA. I guess I'm curious if someone else is in the same boat and found success with an older med.
