REVIEWS OF NORPRAMIN

Review by William

I use desipramine, 50mg once a day, to deaden the pain in the stomach area. However, particularly in the higher dosages it can cause some numbness in the lower extremities, meaning erectile problems. And as an athletic person, at times I had to stop running due to numbness in my knees and ankles to the point of losing control of my right leg that caused a fall. Without this drug I do have a pain on my right side like runner's stiches and frequent sharp bowel spasms. My wife and daughter also tell me I am a lot nicer to live with since I have been taking the drug!
