I understand they are different medications, this is true. It is weird, but I have found that if I go over 1/3 the lowest recommended dose for any antidepressant, they work .....
nardil 60mg (1/3 between 45 and 90)
imipramine 200mgs (1/3 between 150 and 300)
zoloft 100mgs (1/3 between 50 and 200)
so, there is a funny pattern with me. I think some psychopharm docs have made equivalent statement doses between ssri's.
Thank for the advise Tensor
