Well, I tend to recommend what has helped me, which is the tricyclic desipramine. SLS has taken it before with MAOIs and recommended it. (I think pharmacy computer programs may put out a general contraindication between MAOIs and all TCAs, but there are some references in medical literature of some being okay. Desipramine is not known to act on seratonin, so doesn't present a seratonin syndrome risk. The only known neurotransmitter desipramine acts on is norepinephrine.) Plus, a side effect of desipramine can be to raise one's heartrate (it does for me). Well, that's just what you could use! Plus, there is some usage of desipramine as a second-line, non-stimulant treatment for ADD. (Although, for me, I haven't noticed any attentional improvement from it, but I'm just passing along what I've read.) Two possible bonuses there!
