If you're on a tricyclic you'll be monitored a little more closely healthwise than if you were on a SSRI, because these drugs can affect blood pressure. But I don't think getting your blood pressure taken every month is necessarily a bad thing. The most important thing is to feel better, and since you didn't do well on an SSRI, there's a good chance a tricyclic would help you. Good luck.
