In reply to HELP ME: Whats the ratio of Sero/NE in Imipramine?, posted by smittay17 on November 17, 2003, at 8:45:59

> He thinks Imipramine is 3/4 serotonin and 1/4 Norepinephrine.Close enough.
> Can someone please help me out? I'm in the process of changing right now from imipramine to celexa and desipramine...and could really, really use some help

Your new drug combo is much less noradrenergic, in my opinion.
