The medication comes in tablet form and is generally taken one to four times a day. Some common side effects of desipramine include constipation, drowsiness, and dry mouth. A few of the conditions that you should let your healthcare provider know about before you take desipramine include glaucoma, seizures or epilepsy, schizophrenia, severe anxiety or agitation, and an enlarged prostate (also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH).
