In reply to Imipramine vs Desipramine : Experiences, opinions?, posted by thrasher on July 18, 2001, at 8:07:48
Imipramine is broken down by your body into desipramine already. If you had blood drawn you would find significant amounts of desipramine in there already. Desipramine by itself has fewer side effects as far as dry mouth. It is less sedating, in fact some people find it quite activating. It is good for ADHD, concentration. I didn't have any reflux problems aggravated by DMI.
