> If you are looking for a noradrenergic drug to combine with Zoloft or other SRIs, don't forget about nortriptyline. Unfortunately, it seems that desipramine has been linked to untoward cardiac events in vulnerable individuals. I have never had a problem with it. If one is to use desipramine, it is a good idea to get a baseline EKG to look for conduction anomalies prior to starting the drug. One would then want to have follow up EKGs subsequent to initializing therapy.

Desipramine is not available here, but could be imported with relative ease, just need a licence from my pdoc.
How is Abilify working for you? I have been thinking if I could benefit from it but there are a couple of things I want to try first. Pramipexole looks interesting,
