> In fact I already in the past tried tricyclics AD which acts only on NE. There was an improvment for a while. But I had to stop these meds because I fall asleep during the whole day. And anticholinergic drugs are not good for me due to urinary tract chronic infections. (yes anticholinergics have also an effect on that ! It's contracting this muscle). I would like to find a tricyclic, no anticholinergic, and not too sedating, wich acts only on NE. But untill yet I couldn't find this product. The non- anticholinergics ones are all acting on NE and 5HT. That's why I was asking my first question of this thread. Do you have an idea? An did you know that anticholinergics drugs were also bad for memory ?

I was on Elavil (amitryptiline...sp?) a number of years ago and loved it!! The relief I recieved from it was better than any SSRI I have ever been on! Tho it didnt do much for my ADD, it certainly helped my depression! I quite taking it while we were planning for a family, and when we were finished with that and I got on it again, I couldnt handle the sedative effect of it. (my metabolic level was shot!) I have heard that it can be one of the less sedating tricylics there is, though...
