Thanks John! I guess the only way to know if it will work for me is to give it a try...Everyone's mileage will differ...or so the saying goes.

But it made my ears ring real loud, made it very difficult to go to the bathroom, super dry mouth, etc. It had all the side effects you might expect from a tricyclic, except they were a lot more powerful side effects than I had counted on.
