Viridis or Zeugma. Have either of you experience with having blood plasma levels checked after taking nortriptyline? At what point is this done? I read that one should have this done after being at 75 mg for 7 days. Any guidance.
Viridis. Thanks for the information on Xanax and Klonopin. Can one take Klonopin every day, without the risk of needing more (i.e., developing a tolerance)? My sister-in-law takes it 5 days on, 2 days off I think. I knew a priest who got up to 20 mg a day. (Yes, that amount seems impossible, but it is true. He was detoxed at a hospital over several months. A very kindhearted man who get horrible advice from his doctor.)
I need an antidepressant that works for anxiety. My morning anxiety is brutal. The SSRIs did not work, nor any of the newer ADs. So, I am trying nortriptyline as one of the cleaner TCAs and one not as activating as desipramine. Or so I'm told. I start this Thursday, with a very low dose (liquid form).
Thanks. Dannen
