I've tried all the SSRIs and related drugs, so we decided it was time for something outside of that category. As for why my pdoc chose desipramine over another tricyclic, he said that many of the others are more likely to be sedating and cause more side effects. I'm generally very sensitive to ADs (I've had to stop several due to side effects) and already have very low energy and fatigue, so I didnt want to feel any more sedated than I already do. That was the reasoning he shared with me. If there were other additional reasons, he didnt say.
I have stopped it now. My therapist was unhappy with me and didnt seem to understand, but it just felt unsafe and dangerous for me physically. It's not worth that.
I called and rescheduled my pdoc appt from April 23 to March 30, but March 30 is the earliest they can possibly get me in.
