In reply to Reboxetine, Nortriptyline Desipramine. » crazychickuk, posted by Sad Panda on January 31, 2004, at 9:26:35
Nortriptyline has helped me a lot, it improves my sleep and is part of the reason I am approximating a functioning person most of the time.
I would call it a stimulating med overlaid with a sedating one... a useful combination.
I think desipramine is much less sedating and probably closer to Strattera or reboxetine than nortriptyline. But I have never taken desipramine, that is just the impression i have gotten from reading posts.I actually take Strattera concurrently with nortriptyline, as I have serious brain fog/ ADD issues and nortriptyline is better as an antidepressant than as an ADD med (because of its sedating qualities).
