How did you go with Nortriptyline, was it good? If there was anything you didn't like about Nort, it will be the same with Amitrip since 100mg of Amitrip is probably going to give you the effect of swallowing atleast 75mg of Nort. I do think Amitrip is a good idea, it might be able to replace some or all of your Zyprexa & Xanax.
Cheers,
Paul.
