Hi T
>I'm kind of weary of trying any tricyclics because of their potential to induce rapid cycling by inhibiting the reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine (at least to some extent), but at this stage in my treatment, it might be something to consider (however cautiously).
Some TCAs, such as desipramine, are extremely NE selective. That's not to say that they won't induce rapid cycling though. I would imagine that some people cycle in response to 5-HT reuptake inhibitors only, other people cycle in response to NE reuptake inhibitors only, and some people cycle in response to both. LOL, that wasn't very well written but I'm sure you can see what I'm getting at.
Regards
Ed
