Desipramine is not a MAOI. It is a tricyclic antidepressant and that’s why you have no dietary restrictions.

Wow I must have misunderstood my psychiatrist. Next Wednesday, I'll ask him to clarify. Bottom line as per Genesite, SSRIs...at least the 23+ I have tried since they were marketed to the public, are coded red and exacerbate my suicidal ideations. Same Adverse effects with off-label such as Nuedexta and Savella.
We keep hanging in there. I don't flit from one med to another.
Antidepressants were first prescribed in 1982 while stationed in Germany. Imipramine was prescribed for "Housewife depression." Yes, it is a tricyclic
