It was a combination of things. I got a little tired of the constipation and dry mouth and was interested in trying an MAOI, which seem to be better balanced antidepressants to me. Even though desipramine very strongly blockades NE reuptake, I believe it increases serotonin transmission considerably more than reboxetine does.
