Adding desipramine to venlafaxine for panic disorder sounds interesting; however, I'm not sure if my psychiatrist is brave enough to do it. He's probably more likely to add an SSRI (and I don't think he would want to do that very much either)!
Is desipramine only indicated for major depression? Would it help anxiety much?
