In reply to Effexor + TCA - Advice Needed, posted by FourFeathers on January 9, 2010, at 13:51:10
For a while I took desipramine, probably 50mg with 37.5 Effexor xr.
epocrates shows a major interaction, but my doctor seemed to think it was ok. He said he had people on that combo. (I'm not so sure, I found articles claiming cardiotoxicity w/ that combo)
Anyway, the combo was nice - desipramine helped with my concentration and motivation, the effexor knocked out the side effects I had from the despiramine (anxiety, anger, depression).
I did not continue because I was afraid of the purported toxicity.
Anyway, just my experience.
