> Desipramine is an old tricyclic antidepressant. It works by blocking the reuptake mostly of noradrenaline. But it should cause pretty many side effects, doesn't it ?
Not really for me... Severe constipation that is treated w/ daily metamucil, some dry mouth - makes me drink more water, which I need. Thats all.
> If you've passed through an episode of psycosis, gee, I would never try those....I couldn't FUNCTION w/out my stims. I think the psychotic episode was caused by the effexor w/drawal AND the addition of neurontin that I had just started for migraine prophylaxsis. I know that neurontin is pretty benign for most, but it sent me over the edge. At least thats what I think...

Thank you soooo much.
> Never tried MAOIs, but that could be a good try for you, in my own opinion. Remember not all the persons react in the same way as for adverse effects.YMMV - this I know very well... Maybe I should try Parnate or L-Depryl. Something to think about and discuss w/ pdoc.
Thanks again.
