I just started taking 50 mgs. of desipramine about a month ago. I haven't really noticed any side effects except for maybe drier mouth and I do feel a little edgier/angrier sometimes. I read somewhere that 50 mgs. is barely therapeutic, but I also take Dexedrine Spansules (60 mgs.) and 2.0 mgs of klonopin. I've taken lexapro, effexor and prozac in the past with good results, but was curious to try a TCA, so asked my doc for a scrip. I don't know if the Desipramine is hitting only norepinephrine receptors. Does anyone know if it touches serotonin as well? I didn't want to feel sedated, but I was hoping to feel a little calmer. Maybe I'll go back to good old prozac at the expense of losing what's left of my emotions!
