Hi Angel.

It sounds like a worthwhile combination. I might end up trying Celexa + imipramine. I would just want to point out that 50mg of desipramine is very low. I don't think you can consider your combination strategy fully explored until you bring up the dosage of desipramine to at least 200mg. I don't receive any benefit from desipramine until I get to 300mg.

How did you respond to Effexor? Why did you stop taking it? Had you considered first adding desipramine to the Effexor?

Good luck!
