In reply to effexor and desipramine combo, posted by Angel1 on August 19, 2002, at 0:39:59
My comment doesn't reply specifically to your question...FYI anyway.
I have been taking 200mg/daily of Norpramin (nongeneric desipramine) mostly for good sleep and calming affect and have had great results. Initially I tried desipramine but soon switched to Norpramin because of the side affects; experienced no side affects with Norpramin. I am also taking 50mcg/daily of cytomel to help with fatigue...initially had good results but fatigue is back.
Before trying the cytomel, my doctor wanted me to try effexor...I had the prescription filled but never started taking them, remembering intolerable side affects when I attempted taking effexor years ago. So...I'm guessing that it is ok to take that combo (effexor & desipramine) since my doctor has prescribed the same for me. However, you must assume that my doctor is in his right mind.
