I agree with the course your doctor is taking. Interestingly, older doctors with an abundance of experience with TCAs sometimes report that desipramine responders had done less well with nortriptyline and vice-verse. It is almost as if the two drugs were mutually exclusive in treating MDD to full remission. I don't know how universally true this is, but just in case it is, you should explore desipramine fully before moving on to nortriptyline. If you lose the initial boost of energy as the days pass, I would not look at that as a prognosticator of non-response. It might actually be a good sign. I hope so. It is great that you are so willing to work through these drug trials with patience. It should pay off.

Have you tried Effexor, Pristiq, or Cymbalta?
