Desipramine 10mg Tablets: Experiences, Side Effects, and Alternatives

#depression #antidepressants #mentalHealth

Desipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) used to treat depression. It works by balancing neurotransmitters in the brain. Usually the full benefit can be noticed after a few weeks. Desipramine 10mg pills offer a low-dose option for those transitioning to or from this medication. The side effects are numerous and range from mild to severe. I've been taking it for a while and am curious about other people's experiences. How has Desipramine worked for you? Any negative or positive side effects, long-term or short-term, or changes in your life you'd like to share?

I've been on Desipramine for about 6 months now, and it's been a mixed bag. The first few weeks were rough with dizziness and dry mouth, but those have subsided. My energy levels have improved, and I feel more stable emotionally. But I do get anxious and lightheaded sometimes. Anyone else experience sudden anxiety?

I'd never heard of serotonin syndrome before this but thanks to this thread I do now. It's clear that while the medications are helpful, they can also be risky. FYI it is critical to watch out for sudden mood swings and increased anxiety when starting this medication. I was admitted for this but I'm fine now

I've been on Desipramine for a few months and I've noticed some weight gain. I've been trying to exercise more and eat healthier to combat that. Any tips from others who have experienced this?

I've been on Desipramine for close to a year. At first it was great but lately I’ve been experiencing a lot of fatigue. I don't know if it is the meds or if it is just life. If you are experiencing any changes in your mood or physical health seek your doctor right away.

Got put on Deksriatmine because of some bad anxiety issues. The doc put me on Eksriamine (sp?) because it should not have any anxierty side effects

There are so many side effects. I am hesitant to get on the medication as I am on a lot of drugs already and the interactions may not be good. Plus, I hear the come down is tough.
