> You may find the stimulant plus the NE effects of the TCA will do strange things to your resting heart rate and BP. I took desipramine which is much stronger on NE, along with adderall and I had a little problem with HR and BP. Desipramine gave me headaches for the first few weeks on it. BP related as far as I can tell.

That's not a bad idea. You might want to get an EKG and check blood pressure before beginning treatment so as to establish a baseline and check for irregularities. Thereafter, you can repeat these tests from time to time during treatment.
