So... Desipramine REALLY helps my ADD. It works so well for me. Nothing else comes close.
Unfortunately, it also makes me highly irritable, angry, unhappy, social phobic and anxious even at low doses.
But it works so well. I've endured it for as long as 3 months before I couldn't stand it anymore.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for a good combo for desipramine to ease these side effects.
What I have tried so far in combination with desipramine:
abilify - seemed to destroy the anxiety, but I was still irritable and angry.
paxil - mistake. couldn't get out of bed for 2 days.
pristiq - insomnia
gabapentin - dulled me mentally.
Any other ideas?I was considering asking my doctor about cymbalta + desipramine (I tried cymbalta alone in the past - relaxed me but not much else)
