I think lofepramine is a prodrug that is converted to desipramine in the body. Desipramine is selective enough for NE that it be safer with an MAOI. I experience a degree of serotonin syndrome when I combine imipramine with Nardil.

At 60mg my previous pdoc suggested upping Marplan to 80mg seeing as I had no side effects. I then took myself to 90. Its a far less toxic-feeling drug than Nardil. But then Nardil does so much more.
