Your concern is very, very much appreciated.
I may have given the wrong impression that I am not responding to desipramine. I am responding very well at 200mg, but 300mg is my sweet-spot. I am forced to follow my doctor's orders on this one. I might not feel great for a few weeks yet. I feel better on desipramine than I did on nortriptyline. I have more energy and motivation. Plus, my brain woke up to some extent. You know, I think nortriptyline made me feel too content and laid-back. I never felt a need to do anything but sit around. I'm sure it isn't like that for everyone.
> How about a time released version of ritalin. It's a reuptake inhibitor and I believe can be safely used with parnate.
That's a great idea. I am sure that it is safe, as I have been on that combination before. The thing that is different for me this time around is Abilify and Lamictal.
