sorry, i don't know what to suggest... if you are in the uk, do they still prescribe tricyclics... when i took desipramine it was pretty stimulant like... that is to say it was very effective against reversed vegetative symptoms (oversleeping, overeating). it did not cause jitteriness, but i think it may have actually exacerbating anger outburst and irritability problems over time. still it didn't cause the immediate awful effects stims have given me often. unfortunately i can't really say it helped with focus, motivation or even energy to a great degree... though i would notice those problems with get much worse if i stopped taking the med abrubtly. it helped me have short faint patches of feeling again that gave me hope... but in the end thats all they were. :( it may be a med worth trying for you though, in me i noted it was practically just as effective at the low 50mg dose as it was at the max 300mg dose. it's the strongest norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor available i think, and it is pretty selective. you should look into possible cardiotoxicity though... long term periodic checking of BP and heart rate may be a good idea, as it prolly is with stims as well. (my experiences mixing desipramine and stims always ended in disaster though, intense agitation)
