I'd be very interested in hearing if you had the same problem with a stimulating TCA but were able to tolerate Parnate without that problem. (I know that most people find desipramine stimulating, but not nortriptyline, so let's just say desipramine from here on.)

>That's interesting. I guess you never know how you're going to react to any medication. Since dopaminergics put me to sleep, I wouldn't be surprised if that's my response to Parnate as well. We'll see I guess. It must still be helping you as an antidepressant since you're staying on it and augmenting with the Adderall - which is a good sign.
Thanks for your input.
