> I do think so. That's the reason why I would prefer desipramine rather than imipramine (it's less serotoninergic than Anafranil, anyhow it's serotoninergic). Of course I'm not going to tell the deep reason to my new p-doc ;-)

I can remember how frustrated by thesis advisors got with me. They could tell how much knowledge and creativity I could bring to bear on problems, but I lacked the will and focus to sustain the work in the lab. Anyway, even improved I have to admit I am more of an idea guy than an experimentalist. I need to find something that suits me and brings in some income. :-/
Anyway... a little tidbit of information for you regarding tricyclics I came across as I was looking for stuff on herbals...
Nortriptyline is weighted more towards serotonin reuptake inhibition than it is norepinepherine. Unfortunately the manner in which this book sites references is very clumsy; if you wish I can provide them for you sometime.
Imipramine is possibily a step in the right direction (NE > 5-HT), while desipramine appears to be the most NE targeted tricyclic (NE >> 5-HT).
