> What is your dose of Desiprimine,,, do you get constipation and dry mouth?
Desipramine was the first AD I was on, about 15 or 16 years ago. I got constipation and dry mouth. At first I tried bran and other less drastic means, but I ended up taking several colace (or a generic) per day. (Colace is a stool softener.)
The dry mouth ended up being more of a problem, because I didn't know it could cause dental problems, which it did.
I also got postural hypotension. None of the side effects wore off, even though the antidepressant effect did.
