> I remember you saying that it's hard to get stimulants prescribed in Italy..........so I guess it's good that Anafranil works :)
Yes, it's quite difficult. I managed to try Ritalin but it didn't work for me. And amphetamines aren't sold in the drugstores in Italy ;-)
> Clomipramine (Anafranil) has a metabolite which acts as an NE reuptake inhibitor. This might help ADHD.Yes, I think that is the point. Maybe the 10mg form doesn't produce the metabolite but it sounds quite strange to me anyway.
> Desipramine (Nortimil) is the best established tricyclic antidepressant for ADHD. In general, I would expect it to be much more effective that clomipramine (Anafranil), but there are always exceptions! Have you tried it?
Yes, I've tried it and it didn't work for my adhd syntoms (above all difficulty in reading). It had a strong effect on my erection though. And not a good one ...
