Hi CarolAnn.
Try http://www.mentalhealth.com/drug/p30-t06.html
This page has all the info on Vivactil, like how it's good for "apathetic withdrawn patients", and side effects of insomnia, etc.Also try http://jupiter.felk.cvut.cz/FAQ/articles/a1393.html
This whole page is actually full of interesting stuff on depression and medications and stuff. But for comments on Vivactil, go all the way down near the bottom where an author is putting a plug in for Vivactil by stating how it is uncharacteristic of other TCAs, it is activating, it would be lot more popular if SSRIs hadn't been invented, etc. etc.Other than that, maybe just try a search on Vivactil and see where it takes you. Unfortunately there's nothing in Dr Bob's tips on this one. You might stumble onto to something while browsing around though. Depression Central has lots of info. I didn't look there, but maybe a search with the words Vivactil + Ivan Goldberg, or Vivactil + Goldberg, or Vivactil + Depression Central maybe, might yield something. Hope this helps.
