In reply to Dealing with insomnia with desipramine, posted by TriedEveryMedication on March 30, 2020, at 12:09:05
desipramine is TCA that hits norepinephrine, it is alertness, and attentive, vigilant. But that also, is one the reasons why your having insomnia, norepinephrine at night. You could try a beta blocker at night such propranolol, or a mild sedative. You talk to you doctor about it. But im saying i know desipramine, it is good for depression and activation, but it also can cause too much norepinephrine. It's like taking wellbutrin before you go to sleep, insomnia. I would try a beta blocker, they block epinephrine and norepinephrine, so you have none when you went to sleep.
