Emily,

Can I ask how much Desipramine you are taking? Have you experienced orthostatic hypotension on it? Did it have any effect, even if it was minimal to moderate, on motivation? Have you found it helpful for "fearful anticipation", if you experience that type of thing?

Thanks.

Tamara

And actually taking a sleeping med helped too b/c it has helped me get regular sleep, which does take a certain edge off, you know?
