Good question - It seems to be more than just anxiety. Desipramine warps my thoughts - I get very negative on it. It also makes me depressed.
It makes my SP really really bad to, to the point where I feel like other people are a threat and I start getting hostile.
I'm nothing like this at all when I don't take desipramine (or when I take nothing at all).
I've tried mixing SSRIs w/ desipramine and only got serotonin-syndrome-ish symptoms. Abilify seems to remove some of the hostility but not all and the SP is still there strong.
I'm open to suggestions though on how to make the desipramine tolerable. :)
Thanks
