> Does anyone have any experience using this drug? I understand it is a Tricyclic. It is said to be good for lethargic depressions. It can increase energy levels. I guess side effects are somewhat similar to SSRI's.

I took Vivactil for about 2 mos, it was the medicine from hell for me, major side affects, I had to take another med just the combat the side affects, unable to urinate and nausea everytime I ate or drank anything except 7-up. The small benefit it gave me for depression was not justified because of side affects.
