Desipramine

Hello, I have been on Clomipramine for 5 years for major despression and BDD. Its effects have waned over time so my doctor and I thought to try a different TCA. My main concern starting Desipramine is the side effect issue. Mainly weight gain and heart issues. On Clomipramine I have gained about 10 pounds but I am trying to lose the gained weight. Has anyone on the board taken Desipramine? If so, what have been your side effects? Has it been helpful for depression and motivation?

Thank you,
Dave
