Hi Tina,
I take Desipramine or Norpramin(brand name) which
is a tricyclic. The side effects are minimal, maybe some dry mouth and mild constipation at first, but they have subsided. It is non-sedating and I actually lost weight on the generic form, Desipramine. It did raise my heart rate a little until I switched to the brand name-Norpramin. Norpramin is expensive, but worth it to me. I take 150mg, which is slightly on the low side. I know everyone reacts differently.....this is my experience. I've been on this medication for about a year now. Hope this helps in some way and good luck in finding something that works for you!
