	desipramine - Depression symptoms, causes, and treatments including clinical and manic depression.
		Desipramine elevates mood and relieves depression by raising the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain.
		Desipramine also is responsible for the antidepressant effects of another TCA, imipramine (TOFRANIL), since imipramine is converted by the body to desipramine.
		Desipramine and other TCAs should not be used with monoamine oxidase inhibiting drugs, for example, isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), tranylcypromine (Parnate), and procarbazine (Matulane) since high fever, convulsions and even death can occur when these drugs are used together.
