Thanks Todd for the suggestion, however I was on Pamalor years ago and it was ineffective. I won't consider the tris b/c of their side-effects.
> I guess the one I would suggest considering is the tricyclic nortriptyline. This is anxiolytic and lacks the sexual side effects of the SSRIs, as it is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. It is moderately sedating, but it only has weak anticholinergic effects for a tricyclic. I like desipramine better myself, but I don't believe this is a good choice for someone looking for help with anxiety. I wouldn't bother with any of the SSRIs considering the difficulties you have already experienced. I would try a different class of antidepressant.
