Zeugma. Thanks. Do you have to have your blood checked to determine if 75 mg. is at the theurapeutic level? My psychiatrist seems unfamiliar with TCAs, and that might be an obstacle to him prescribing a TCA. I have read the TCAs are better for melancholic depression, especially in men over 40 (nortriptyline). I hope I can get it and then tolerate it. I also am thinking about gabitril for sleep or doxepin for sleep. But I think I probably need more than help with my sleep. Have you ever tried St. John's Wort (SJW)? I only bring it up because I have such a hard time tolerating any medicine, and SJW apparently is relatively easy to tolerate.
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR KINDNESS. Dannen
