If you are looking for a noradrenergic drug to combine with Zoloft or other SRIs, don't forget about nortriptyline. Unfortunately, it seems that desipramine has been linked to untoward cardiac events in vulnerable individuals. I have never had a problem with it. If one is to use desipramine, it is a good idea to get a baseline EKG to look for conduction anomalies prior to starting the drug. One would then want to have follow up EKGs subsequent to initializing therapy.

That's a good thought. Thanks. Perhaps the Abilify I'm taking would prevent the sleep attacks that pramipexole can induce.
It has been at least 10 years since I tried bromocriptine (Parlodel). It produced a mild improvement for a few days. Pramipexole would be worth a try for me since it stimulates D3 receptors along with the D2 receptors that bromocriptine is limited to.
