> Abilify can keep people awake. I don't know about lamictal, but some get insomnia from desipramine too. It is one of the least sedating TCA's.
I have to agree. Insomnia is one of the first things people complain about with Abilify and Geodon. Desipramine might allow you to get to sleep, but it might be light and choppy. Whichever of the two it is (or both), it is usually only a temporary side effect that should dissipate within the first few weeks.
I don't remember having insomnia when I first started taking Lamictal. I'm now taking 300mg.
