Hi Bob.
> Why did you stop the trial of Effexor with Desipramine?
I responded only partially to it ~ 25% improvement.
> Is Parnate weight neutral?
I lose weight on it. I'm down over 10 pounds in 2 weeks.
> I'm on low doses of everything as I've had a history of extreme sensitivity to meds, which was greatly exacerbated by ECT a few years ago.
Very interesting. I think I encountered someone else who experienced the same thing.

You might want to try to sneak the nortriptyline up 10mg at a time. Most people need 75mg.
