sorry this isn't going to help much but I feel for you because i had a similar disappointing response from the same dose of the TCA lofepramine and gave it a good 4 weeks at that dose before calling it quits.I'm now on Efexor XL and this too is having a very questionable impact and I'm stuck for where to go next, although have received much advice from this board.
Most people on here are advocating augmenting the efexor, but my UK Doc appears unwilling to support this.
The lofepramine was introduced to me after a non response to seroxat (paxil).
Which SSRIs did you try and for how long?Maybe two weeks is not long enough for you, but if it's anything to go by, the extra two weeks I gave it were a waste of time and energy.
Good luck to you whatever your decision
Paul
