Hi Scott, Yes I've tried desipramine before and it worked great (during the day for focus) and by taking just 10mg at bedtime. But, I had this pounding heart on it (accompanied by blurred vision). I just didn't list it due to the anticholinergic effects. Nortriptyline worked somewhat, but I had to take a much larger dose. Never tried Ludiomil. I'm on WB 150mg/day now + Ritalin 20mg. I wonder how long I will have to give the WB before it will kick in for focus issues? The Ritalin works OK, but it seems like the WB *defeats* it somehow. I responded to that tiny dose of desipramine after just 7-10 days. I've been on this dose of WB for a similar amount of time.-Mitch
