I tried maprotiline 9 years ago,alone not in a combo.
I discontinued after a week or so,since it made me very tired and I had no doctor to encourage me to continue taking it (I bought it on my own,since doctors very rarely prescribe it).
It feels completly different than desipramine.
It is very sedative.
Have you have experience with it?You're experience with Reboxetine is very similar to mine with Atomoxetine.It worsened my depression immensely.
It seems that the mechanism of action,the ''how'' exactly a med act on the NE receptors can make these drugs differ in their actions very much.
