I used to take despiramine for ADD, inattentive-type.
It worked remarkably well. Unbelievably so.
But it also made me very anxious, especially socially anxious. And angry. I'd have a really short fuse.
Anyway, ssris always helped me w/ anxiety and social issues, but there is a 2d6 interaction between ssris and desipramine (ssris inhibit 2d6, which breaks down desipramine).
I did try paxil and desipramine once together - wow, it knocked me out for 3 days. Couldn't get out of bed.
I also did try lyrica w/ despiramine - made me dopey and counteracted anything the desip did. And constipated!
Anyway, has any other antidepressant been successfully combined with desipramine? I can't really take the side-effects, even at the lowest doses. Which sucks because it works so well :(
Thanks!!
