Ruth - The irritiability, frustration and anxiety could be due to your body reacting to life without the desipramine (a readjustment of receptors due to losing the desipramine effect on them). Desipramine is a TCA with mainly norepineprhrine reuptake blocking actions, so if it didn't make a difference in your depression, your depression may be serotonergically based. The weaning from desipramine is a good idea, but not everyone needs to do it. Give it a week or two more and your side effects should go away. Inform your doc on how you feel.
Hope this helps - Cam
