I'm going to try the tri-cyclic desipramine before going to an MAOI. I'm just curious if anybody has any experience with the drug or any comments.

Hi
I've taken lofepramine - a similar tricyclic. I liked that it was non-sedating.

I took it many years ago. It helped a bit, but not enough. I was on a very high dose and still couldn't get my blood level high enough. As I recall cold hands, dizzy, etc. Side effects not good but not horrible.

I took it about 15 years ago. It helped me abit, but I had to stop taking it because of severe constipation. It didn't matter what I did to help it so I tried something else instead. I had a friend who was on it nad she did just fine so I guess it depends on the person.
Good luck!
