and by the way, I think you see my dillema. I have mixed type IBS, but mostly pain and nausea, and SSRI's intensify the nausea to unbearable levels, and do nothing for the pain. Effexor and cymbalta would probably kill my appetite, and TCA's work because they give me a LITTLE appetite while helping my IBS and cataplexy. My doctors have preferred nortriptyline for me over AMI because I have always been overtly fatigued on a constant basis even before someone realized it was probably narcolepsy. I'm also anxious, severely so, and nortriptyline is a better anxiolytic than desipramine. I am on 1.5 mg clonazepam but that merely reduces the anxiety, and it adds to the drowsiness which is the last thing I need.
I wish strattera were nortriptyline without cardiotoxicity. Then i would try that with dexedrine.
