> Actually instead of clonidine (alpha-1) my doc gave me prazosin (alpha-2) to take with the desipramine at night.
Prazosin is a NE alpha-1a/b/d receptor blocker that can be taken all day long (t.i.d.) at 30-40 mg/day without blocking the therapeutic effects of desipramine or producing sedation. It is extremely clean except for its tendency to reduce sex-drive. Prazosin can produce dizziness early in treatment, but it usually disappears.
I am going to assume that you already tried nortriptyline.
