> ON my research I feel Desiprimine and NOrtriptyline are nearly Identical, dont you?

Much of what I've read makes them sound very similar. However, I've run across a few websites that either directly contrast them [for example, http://www.umich.edu/~pharm660/addrugs.pdf] or give enough specific information about both to permit a meaningful comparison [for example, http://sl.schofield3.home.att.net/medicine/psychiatric_drugs_chart.html]. Based on this, I chose desipramine because it seemed more "activating" and less likely to cause unpleasant side effects.

> Im still adjusting to the anticholinegic thing,,, are you?

Hasn't been a problem for me. Anticholinergic drugs generally don't bother me, and some I even enjoy. For example, I always found atropine to be a pleasant stimulant. But then, my neurochemistry doesn't work like most people's.

> Im thrilled you are taking the :right Medication:

Time will tell if it's really right, but for now it's a helluva lot less wrong than most other ADs I've tried.

> Spring will be awesome for you this year.

Thanks... I hope you're right.

> do you get constipation and dry mouth?

Had some mild constipation at first, but my regular regularity is so irregular that I can't be sure it was the desipramine. And I never noticed any significant mouth-drying effects.
