Don't take Dexedrine while you are taking Desipramine. Desipramine & the other tricyclics don't affect dopamine but they mainly work by increasing norephedrine. Dexedrine increases both norepinephrine & dopamine. If you take Desipramine with Dexedrine you will probably become a nervous/insomniac wreck & it could be a dangerous drug interaction.
Dexedrine differs from Wellbutrin since Dexedrine causes a euphoric "on top of the world" feeling without much nervousness. I would guess from reading your posts for a while that the normal ADD dose of 10 mg 2x a day would make you too nervous & you'd be better off with 5 mg 2x a day (the best social phobia dose). For me, caffeine (1 No-Doz causes more anxiety than low dose dexedrine). Caffeine is an anxiogenic with minimal euphoric properties= not a very good social phobia medicine. Don't drink caffeine while taking Dexedrine.
I tried a friend's Wellbutrin SR for a week when I ran out of Ritalin & couldn't find any Adderall to buy off anyone during finals week. Wellbutrin SR 300-450 mg day made me feel like a dog took a cr*p on my head & made me want to throw up.
