In reply to Imipramine added to Desipramine, posted by Angel1 on September 24, 2002, at 17:34:40
> My pdoc just added imipramine to my desipramine to get some seratonin(spelling?) effects. I did not realize there are no effects on seratonin with desipramine, just norepi effects. Does anyone have any experience with this combo? My pdoc is very good at what he does, so I am hoping this will give me the added boost I am looking for. Thanks!

> P>S> The added amount of Imipramine is 10mg for ten days, if no effect 20mg for ten days up to 30mg. It is a very small amount. Desipramine is 100mg.I believe desipramine is a metabolite of imipramine. This may work well, as I know a few folks who's doctors prescribed the same things, with good success. I also think it is finally being realised that the older tricyclic medications can work much better than the newer meds in many people. Good luck, and let us know how you make out.
