I was hoping that would be your answer :-) I can only add about 25 mg of desipramine because at 75 mg I lactated. I am going to try it. I know it's safe as I have read of other people trying it as well. It's funny how so many things are contraindicated, yet you can still take them.
I hope 25 mg of Desipramine is enough to make a bit of an improvement. I feel the same way you do just on the Parnate.
Have you ever taken Nardil and what did and didn't you like about it?
Thanks Scott.

Combined with Lamictal, I get about 15% improvement (BFD). I do not profit from the cocktail unless an MAOI is combined with a tricyclic.

However, for reasons I don't want to get into here, my doctor at the time discontinued the combination and never went back to it, but, rather, played around with other things. Now, the combination no longer works.
