Has anybody ever had trouble with hot flashes while taking Desipramine? I've been on it since late January. It's very energizing (low energy being a problem for me) and it does wonderful things for my mood, and I like it a lot. But at least 4 or 5 times a day, I break into a 5- or 10-minute dripping sweat for no good reason. Even when it's cold out. (I sit by a window at work, but the sun doesn't often shine here in winter!)

My pdoc said Effexor could cause this as well. I also take that, but I've taken it for close to 6 years and never had a hot flash till I started the Desipramine.

I am 39, a little too young for menopause, I think (I hope!).

I would love to hear anybody's experiences with this. Thanks.
