Anyone in babbleland know how these meds differ (other than that strat costs about 10X more than desipramine?) Are the cardiac risks similar? can it be combined with A/D's.
What's prompting these questions is stimulant tolerance (DX: ADD-inattentive type); a switch seems like a better alternative than a holiday.
BTW, I have had a good prior experience with desipramine (except for some hyponmania that was more or less controllable) - I found DES helped not only ADD but was a great mood brightener too - an attribute of Adderall/Dex long gone ...
Thanks for any responses!
