ROFL! This is going in my file of colorful language. I love it!
About the side effects of desipramine for me:
The constipation was the worst, but urine retention was a close second. These two stuck around until the end. (I should mention that I am prone to slight constipation even without drugs.) Dry mouth, frequent urination and stomach spasms were temporary. To be honest Roo, I felt so sick, sex was the last thing on my mind. I don't know if I was anorgasmic or not. Usually I try it out even when I'm not interested to see how a new drug is affecting me. This time I was too miserable.
I will not remember my desipramine trial with fondness. At 75 mg, you probably will not experience anything like I did!
