The first time I tried a tricyclic antidepressant, I couldn't stop sweating at first. I didn't experience nausea or cramps, though. The dizziness is normal as desipramine blocks the receptors that control the contraction of blood vessels. This should mitigate over time. Desipramine can be a harsh drug. You might want to go up more gradually. Actually, starting at 50 mg on the first day is a bit aggressive. They do make 10 mg pills.
