I'm trying to combat depression with this natural substance, does anyone know the best way to do this or should I try a more specialized forum?
Don't you have to first be off the lexapro for a little while before you can start with the desipramine, so that the lexapro can fully clear your system (it has a half life of 30 hours)? The combination can cause serotonin syndrome.
Apparently this is not relevant anymore now, but Caapi Copy contains just the alkaloids so that would have been an option. I was opposed to the ideas of MAOIs daily at first, but I can't really say that it would be necessarily a bad idea. You couldn't take the dextroamph though, have you considered the interactions with that?
There are also considerable interactions between dextroamph and lexapro... is your doc keeping track of interactions at all? If you take dexamph daily and are starting the desipramine, be sure to keep your heartrate and BP as well as your side-effects extra monitored.
Im telling ya...most docs arent any smarter about these things than a greenlighter.
