Hi,
Yes, guanfacine does have the same effect (alpha-2 agonist) which temporarily supresses norepinephrine release and facilitates cholingeric neurotransmission.
You *may* wish to approach the combination of guanfacine + desipramine with doctor supervision. While there is no direct interaction, there could be BP fluctuations depending on doses & timing.
I know guanfacine has been used successfully in combination with Ritalin and / or straterra. There are case reports of cardiac side effects.
