> So what's the down side of nortryptiline ?? Is there weight gain? It sounds like my next best try if Cymbalta doesn't work out...I responded to clomipramine but the weight gain was too much, two weeks of cabbage soup diet and exersise didn't solve it.....

>Hi Banga,
If you gain weight on Clomipramine, you will probably gain weight on Nortriptyline. They are fairly similar, the only real difference is Nortriptyline is an insignifcant SRI which means you can add it on to some of the SSRI's & Effexor. This produces a combination that has less side effects than an SSRI or TCA alone.
Cheers,
Paul.
