Im at 100mg desipramine and the headaches and nausea im getting are making me want to stop it.
In your experience, does the beta blocker help with the headaches? Feels like at the end of the day when the blood level is probably getting lower that I get these awful headaches.
I think this may have something to do with coffee but Id hate to give up my morning coffee.
