Wow, this is like a pharmaco game show! I would vote for ...number two! Just double up on the TCA (desipramine)-at 25mg/day you may not be in the therapeutic range for it (TCA's don't have the "flatter" dose-response curve like newer meds do). Go with #2, doubling your present med then get a blood draw after a couple of weeks and see if you are "in the range"-you might feel a lot different.Mitch
