Hi Angell,
According to the pharmacist and the doctor there isn't a difference between the generic & the brand. However, my doctor has also said that some people just do better on the name brand??? All I know is that I experienced no anxiety or agitated feeling on norpramin and the positive aspects were definitely noticeable. I also did much better when I switched from imipramine to tofranil (brand) last year.
How are you doing on effexor? My doctor says effexor will help my fatigue. I am currently taking 200 mg/daily of norpramin and 50 mcg/daily of cytomel, which is also supposed to help with fatigue. I've been holding off on the effexor because I can't decide which is worse...this fatigue or the (expected) side affects of effexor.
