Okay. This is wk 3 on Nortriptyline and all I feel is tired. Thought-patterns are bad, depression is bad, this should have kicked in by now, right?? Wk 1 was 25mg/day, wk 2 was 50mg/day, and this wk is 75mg/day. And it's DAMN-good I'm all but unemployed cuz I couldn't function in a workplace.
SO, y'all told me it was likely if Nortrip didn't work, Desipramine would. So that's next on the list (obviously upon approval by my doc). So how do I go about getting from one to the other? Do I need to take 3 weeks to get back off Nortriptyline and then another 3 to get up to speed on Desipramine???
The other thing: I'm going to try to talk them into a small dose of Zyprexa to control those nasty pervasive thoughts. Can this be combined with Nortrip and Desip (as I go from one to the other)?
As always, any input is welcome....
