Do TCA's cause depersonalization (like Efexor)?

Posted by Tiina on May 11, 2003, at 15:17:25

Hi everybody!
I'm really starting to hate Efexor. It's been the only drug that's made my depression go away but it's also made me depersonalized. I've just completely lost my sense of identity. In addition I'm really impatient and rude and don't feel alive and my sleep is disturbed etc. etc. I was wondering if tricyclics often cause depersonalization like the newer stuff seems to do? I would really like to get rid of this feeling. It's like since my feelings are not in the way I can talk about everything and anything which I couldn't do before because of shame and guilt etc. but talking about things like that doesn't get me anywhere! I guess neuroleptics are supposed to help with distorted conceptions and stuff so I don't need my anti-depressant to suppress me. So does anybody know if tricyclics work "more gently"?
