Desipramine. Singer et ah, (1995) compared clonidine (0.05-0.2 mg/day) and desipramine (25-100 mg/ day) in a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study in 37 children (ages 7-13 years old) with combined ADHD and TS. Desipramine produced a significant improvement in ADHD outcome measures and was superior to placebo. Clonidine was not different...

Fluoxetine, paroxetine, bupropion, duloxetine, and other CYP450 2D6 inhibitors may increase TCA concentrations Fluvoxamine, a CYP450 1A2 inhibitor, can decrease the conversion of imipramine to desmethylimipramine (desipramine) and increase imipramine plasma concentrations Cimetidine may increase plasma concentrations of TCAs and cause anticholinergic symptoms Phenothiazines or haloperidol may raise TCA blood concentrations May alter effects of antihypertensive drugs may inhibit hypotensive effects of clonidine... 

Medications play an important part in the treatment of ADD. Stimulants are the mainstay of the treatment of ADD methylphenidate (Ritalin), dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine), and pemoline (Cylert). These differ in their half-lives, with Ritalin having the shortest and Cylert the longest. A warning has recently been issued about Cylert because of reports of sometimes fatal liver toxicity. Thus, it is recommended that it be used only if methylphenidate and dextroamphetamine are ineffective. There is individual variability in resporise, so that a person who does not respond to one may respond well to another. Other medications can also be effective in the treatment of ADD and may be useful, especially in residual ADD, where substance abuse may be an issue. These include tricyclic antidepressants (especially desipramine and imi-pramine) SSRIs, bupropion, venlafaxine, and clonidine. There are reports of antipsy-chotics and lithium being helpful in selected cases, as well.
