Take care not to titrate desipramine too rapidly. Doing so might trigger side effects that wouldn't otherwise have evolved. I found this to be true for urinary retention / delayed micturition. Hypotension can get worse, too via the NE alpha-1 receptor antagonism exerted by desipramine.
I once had luck adding desipramine to Parnate. Within three months, I achieved remission and lived a normal life for another six months. My doctor at the time withdrew both medications when mania became evident. Once I relapsed into depression, he stubbornly avoided using the same treatment that got me well the first time. I no longer respond to this drug combination.
Good luck.
