4 | depression/anxiety | dry mouth, heart palpitations, increased sweating. -no weight gain | Desipramine was the 1st anti-depressant that I took. It worked well for me. I went on it very slowly....probably taking about 6 months to get to my daily dose of 200mg (taking 100mg 2xday). I was so glad to be feeling "happy" that I did not care about the side effects. After going off it, however, when I became pregnant...then going back on, it seemed to lose its effectiveness. I had to switch to a new med and am still trying to find one that I can live with and that works well. | F | 39 | 7 years | 8/25/2008 | 5 | depression/ add/ panic disorder | dry mouth, increased appetite | I am very pleased with this medication it replaced- wellbutrin and adderall- I pay cash for my rxs so this saves me about $80 per month. It also seems to do better than my other medications! | F | 33 | 45 days | 5/5/2008 | 5 | antidepression | Tried multiple drugs. This one combined with zoloft helps without drowsiness. | F | 3 months | 7/17/2007 | 5 | Morning depression | A short while after taking, experienced brief heart flutter. Occasional constipation. Awakening after a few hours of sleep at night just once every night, but can tolerate this, considering the superlative help it has given me for morning depression. | A God-send! A life-saver! A tricyclic without the sedating effects the others have. Weaned myself down from 75 mg. daily to 25 mg. daily for years; upped dose to 50 mg. daily at bedtime to avoid flare-ups. An oldie but goodie! Superb drug! | M | 64 | 26 years | 1/10/2006 | 4 | depression | There are few side efects for me. One is waking up only after a few hours od sleep. The other is weight gain. The weight gain has only been in the last 4 months. I've gained 15 pounds. | F | 48 | 3 days | 11/15/2005 | 4 | depression | dry mouth | F | 41 | 2 years | 9/12/2004 | 5 | Anxiety/Depression | Only side effects have been constipation and a slightly increased heart rate. | This drug was a God send. It has completely cured me of my despression/anxiety. I feel normal again. | F | 54 | 12 years | 8/9/2004 | 5 | Depression and Drug addiction | Dry mouth, increased heart rate, somewhat higher anxiety (but I am treated for anxiety already). The one good side effect I had was an very high increase in my libedo! (husband is very happy)! I do have some weight gain which is my only concern. But when I figure I haven't attempted suicide since I have started this med, the weight gain is the least of my problems. | F | 40 | 1 years | 2/26/2004 | 5 | depression | dry mouth and constipation were the worst but seemed so subside after the first two weeks. Another strange side effects is my urine is very concentrated even though I drink between three and four liters of water a day. | F | 30 | 22 days | 10/18/2002 | 2 | Depression/ADD | No effect other than a rash over my arms and legs | F | 17 | 2 days | 5/21/2002 | 3 | | 4/16/2001 |
