I upped my deispramine to 50mg at bedtime, and tossed and turned all night, waking up every 2 hours. I also tryed stopping the moring xanax, and experience, daytime anxiety, withdrawls, and panic.

I never had much luck with TCA's (desipramine) or even Remeron for SP. SSRI's work the best (haven't tried MAOI's-pdoc won't go for it), Paxil worked the best, but made me too sleepy. With Celexa I could maintain reasonable attentiveness. I think it sounds like a good idea to try it. You might want to start off at 10mg and titrate it over 2-week periods. It can be a little "buzzy".
