> I've had no problem taking Paxil. But when I've taken Tegretol (which has tricyclic properties) and nortriptyline (a tricyclic) I've got a rash on my arm in the same place. What could be causing the allergic reaction in the tricyclics that isn't in the SSRIs?

Have you been out in the sun? TCA's, Tegretol, and SJW can cause photosensitive skin reactions. Do you have any rash where you never get any sun exposure? If the meds help and you want to continue them you might need a sunblocker.
