The only problem with desipramine is it has some additional effects on ion channels that can affect heart rhythm. I (personally) would not use it in combination with other stimulants (unless you are strictly monitoring blood pressure and heart rhythms).

That's really good to know, about potential heart issues with desipramine + vyvanse.. I'm starting to wonder if I should initially try Adderall, and if that doesn't give me the "executive function" boost I'm looking for, maybe levo-milnacipran.. I'm going to read about zinc, thanks so much!!!I'm doing ok, such a long story, I'll give you the highlight.. I got into a pretty brilliant ADHD doctor, (by Canadian standards), and he put me on like nine different meds.. ok, maybe he was nuts, and eventually lost his license for neglecting patients, and inappropriate prescribing practises, (hence why I'm in between doctors), but changing some of the meds he started me on, I landed on a combo of vyvanse, Dex. IR, Trintillex,Rexulti, and Neurontin, (not sure how much the neurontin does), which allowed me to get through a Chemistry degree, (six credits left to graduate).. so I'm happy about that, but need something to boost my norepinepherine.
Also, since Canada became a communist country, and all our tax money is going to fund our idiot prime minister's foreign social justice campaigns, aimed at securing him a UN seat, (I digress), our health care is steadily deteriorating, and its hard to find an ADHD doctor up here, but I've managed to secure two appointments with a doctor who is supposed to be excellent starting at the end of the month, so I'm hoping he can help me. If not, I'm just going to find a doctor in NYC who does tele-medicine and try to find a GP up here who will work with him. I'm hoping to move to the US before too long, we're headed towards the sixty cent dollar up here.
