Have you tried Dexedrine/Adderall?
Maybe the acute effects of drugs are different to the long-term, even with NRI's? I've never really lost all my emotions, except via depression, so I can't comment . . clomipramine definitely didn't numb me in the way SSRI's do . . in fact, I felt pretty normal, so maybe Desipramine could help you.
I'm the opposite to you though: NRI's drive me crazy (Ritalin, Seroquel, Clomirapmine, Mirtazapine [not an NRI, but still]. Since Stablon antagonizes NE-release in certain parts of the brain, I believe, I was hoping it might help my anxiety.

Yesterday I doubled the dose just to see what would happen, since it supposedly has short acting immediate effects. I didn't notice anything, which is not surprising since short acting drugs have no effect on my mood.

I believe the true effects of the drug do take sometime to develop, but I think that if it were to work, one might notice some anti anxiety effects right off the bat.

I just thought I might notice something right off the bat, like some people notice with ritalin or oxycodone. I haven't noticed anything so far. No significant side effects either.
