In reply to SSRIs vs TCAs, posted by BrittPark on December 29, 2002, at 20:27:38
Hi Britt,
I have taken TCAs for many years before the SSRIs were available, particularly Clomipramine. They had no effect on me but I thought that was "as good as it gets". Clomipramine gave me bruxism but that was all it did:)
I also tried Amitriptyline. Both meds didn't make my condition worse but Dibenzepin and Maprotiline caused vomiting and overstimulation.
I guess SSRIs may be better for people who are already high on dopamine and noradrenaline.Kari.
