Can Desipramine and Adderall be taken together?

To answer your question very quickly, yes these medications CAN be taken together. You should be as informed as possible, but I think there's a lot of room for side-effects. If you have a healthy cardiovascular system, no history of hypertension (high blood pressure), there's probably not a huge risk in trying the desipramine with Adderall. [Disclaimer: I'm not your doctor and I think you should leave any medication changes at his/her discretion.]

I'm on Pristiq 50 mg and though winter was a difficult time for me, I didn't land in the hospital again. Personally, I'm very cautious about changing any of my medications--- got off of the med merry-go-round a couple of years ago and stuck to what medicines were truly beneficial. Before taking Pristiq, I had been taking Effexor XR 150 mg twice a day for about 3 years. Though I'm not an advocate for Pfizer (formerly Wyeth) nor think Effexor/Pristiq are wonder drugs, I found this antidepressant to be the most helpful. I also have been on Adderall 30 mg twice a day for several years. I still get really sad sometimes and depressed, but full-blown Major Depressive Disorder is in remission. Please know that you are not alone (!!! ) and that although I, too, have experienced antidepressant burn-out after about a year or so, I also know that it is possible to recover without necessarily having to change a medication that has been working. Have you tried a higher dose of Pristiq (100 mg)? I'd be more willing to consider that before making the switch, so to speak.

Hope this helps.
