A member asked:
Why is desipramine a next recommendation instead of imipramine for functional dyspepsia when amitriptyline is too sedating and stops working and nortriptyline makes heart race?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The effect on neuropathic pain is probably the same. You can try imipramine instead of despiramine.
