True, but what about nortryptiline and desipramine? Aren't these approved and considered effective for depression. And isn't imipramine's main mode of action norepinephrine reuptake inhibition (over serotonin uptake inhibition, that is). These are mainly noradrenergic agents, although I may be mistaken.
