I have not tried desipramine. If it causes less weight gain, wow it could be a great option. Somehow I find it easier to find detailed info on SSRIs than on TCAs, except for one article that describes how much each acts on serotonin as opposed to norepinephrine.
But in terms of 5HT2a blocking...doesn't that help with anxiety in some cases? I also looked at notrtyp because this seems to be a common element in many (well, "many" being rather relative!)drugs that have helped me w/anxiety (clomipramine, geodon). Of course this was just a guess, that this mechanism is helpful for me...
But thanks for the desipramine hint. Now I have to think how I will pose this to my pdoc after just convincing her that nortryp is the next logical choice.
