> If 200 mg desipramine helps you, without causing edema, then you'd be set. But I don't know why desipramine would be less likely to cause edema than imipramine (though it does tend to be the best TCA in terms of S/E according to many).Z,
I think i only need to be on 50mg of Desipramine, not 200mg like Imipramine. Because Imipramine is 3/4 Serotonin and 1/4 NE and breaks down to Desipramine (and Desipramine is JUST NE).So hopefully I wouldn't need to take 200mg of Desipramine because its all NE which is 1/4 of the 200mg of Imipramine I was fine on, so I'm trying 50mg Desipramine (3/4 less TCA side effects) and 60mg of Celexa.
As for the Strattera, I'll have to check that out! I heard of it briefly and if it offers the NE without using a TCA, maybe that will work.
Now does a ton of SERO cure Panic? it must, because im upping my celexa and it works and my Imipramine 200mg was 150mg SERO. I always thought it was the NE...I'll keep you all updated as I go along and again thank you so so so much for your advice and help! this place and people are a God-send :)
