Hi,
Until a few days ago, I was taking Nortriptyline as a way to augment the NE effects of Pristiq. The combination worked well. However, I put 16 lbs on in less than three weeks, and I'm already overweight, so I had to stop the Nortriptyline. I'm wondering if any of you might recommend a primarily NE-type tricyclic that doesn't cause weight gain or at least not so much.
I thought about desipramine but Stahl's guide says it's just as likely to cause weight gain. I'm also thinking about Straterra, but I've tried it before and it didn't help as much as the Nortriptyline.
Thanks,
DRC
