Eeeep, well I'm done with desipramine as of today. I don't know if it was accumulated lack of sleep or stuff that has been building or a combination but today was not a good day. As of tomorrow I'm starting Cymbalta 30 mg. Going by this chart http://sl.schofield3.home.att.net/medicine/psychiatric_drugs_chart.html desipramine, vicodin and trazodone are all metabolized by CYP2D6. Maybe this is part of the problem, 3 scripts from 3 different doctors. It's not like I didn't tell them what I was taking and I filled them at the same pharmacy and they didn't flag it either. According the the same chart cymbalta is metabolized by this same enzyme. Am I way off base here? Should I stop trying to play doctor? Is there a site that is something like The Complete Idiots Guide to Neurology and Pharmacology?
Thanks
Rick
