Hi Maxime :-)
>I wonder if I could safely add desipramine to my Parnate? Does anyone know?
Some people do combine them, SLS used to take this combination. The risk of serotonin syndrome should be low because desipramine is only a very weak serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
>Funny, desipramine isn't suppose to be sedating, but it is for me.
Did you start at 10mg and gradually increase? Did you take it at night? I expect the sedation would wear off quite fast. Desipramine is a weak antihistamine, tolerance to the drowsiness should develop in a week or two.
