> Hi Ame,
Hiya. :-)
> I would say that your pdoc's recommedations of Wellbutrin XL, desipramine, or nortriptyline are in order, but given that your panic attacks and anxiety are in remission, I would go with the TCA's as they are also antipanic agents. Both desipramine and nortriptyline can be anxiogenic but to less degree, and in descending order of anxiogenicity, than Wellbutrin. Nortriptyline would also have an anti-insomnia effect, unlike desipramine. OTOH you mention binge-eating, and nortriptyline can have mixed effects in this regard, while desipramine is more likely to lower appetite.
Well, I'm so confused about the whole thing right now I'm sure I'll just pick a medication's name out of a hat as I pull up to the doctor's office, lol.
