Some tricyclics which inhibit norepinephrine/noradrenalin & serotonin (roughly) equally are:
Amitriptyline.
Doxepin.
Imipramine (also good for bladder problems, as Phillipa posted). Desipramine is also one of it's metabolites (in fact its a metabolite of a few tricyclics).However, as you seem to like the effects of desipramine, I personally would be very hesitant to change it. Adding something serotonergic (if you think thats what you really need) is probably a better option. Tryptophan has already been mentioned, or you could try 5-HTP. Trazodone might be worth adding at bedtime. But be carefull with these if you're still on Emsam (are you?) especially if on a high non-selective dose.
