My doctor suggested I drop Effexor and add Desipramine to Strattera. Effexor (75 mg) helps with excessive ruminating and I don't want to give it up. I am add/inattentive. I have very low energy.
I have been thinking he was nuts to do two norepinephrine drugs and have been a little depressed over the options he is giving me. I want a dopamine drug. What are the differences? I am confused about what they are, even though I put desipramine in the search page here and read five or six (20 per page) pages of links. Don't you think that is an odd combination? I know your drug is similar to desipramine.
Strattera only lasts about seven hours for me. It's decline is really noticable at that point, and within an hour I have anxiety setting in. Does your TCA last longer?
