> Another great choice would be Desipramine or Nortriptyline. There is a test that is sometimes predictive....a positive effect of Ritalin on mood predicts a good response to Desipramine....the absence of a good effect of Ritalin on mood predicts a good response to Nortriptyline. In either case, I think one of these tricyclics should be tried and compared.
Is this documented anywhere? Just curious, because I've had a pretty good response to nortriptyline (cf. to SSRIs) and in just starting on Ritalin, I've had a very promising response to it as well. Is this "test" sound enough to suggest that I might have a better response to desipramine?
