In reply to TCAs and SSRIs - A good mix?, posted by RetiredYoung on July 29, 2004, at 11:20:39

Desipramine & Nortriptyline are ideal for stimulation in high doses. Choose Nortriptyline if you have trouble with sleep or anxiety.
I think an SSRI + Nortriptyline is probably more effective with less side effects than either SSRI's or TCA's alone.
