Thank you Ed for the info! I know of course no antidepressant is a guarantee for working; and the nortryp--and maybe then desipramine--will be a first try in the more norepinephrine direction..I suppose on the one hand I should be thankful that TCAs seem to agree with me, as my pdoc said--she was mightliy impressed that the only side effect I had at all from clomipramine was weight gain..and some mild postural hypotension. For the brief time on nortryptiline, I did not notice anything bothersome other than the weight. I will see my pdoc Tuesday, discuss options...perhaps adding zonegran to counteract TCA weight gain? Right now I am only on 100 mg lamictal, amazing I am doing so well, although the past few days I fear I may be losing effectiveness.
