By narrow therapeutic window, you mean if go too low or too high, can miss the relief; there's a narrow point or small area where it is effective .. correct?
Re: GERD. Do the gory details have something to do w/ digestion and elimination.
I'm going to d.c. desipramine as it's creating an insatiable appetite. I'm distended, so uncomfortable all the time, and literally 'full of it'! (Yep, in more ways than one; I know.) I'm on a very low dose too, but guessing it's prob' built up in my bloodstream. Believe I've been on 2-3mos.
I guess all TCAs have high probability of this sort of side effect.
Too bad there isn't a counter-acting agent.
I've been drinking 'at least' three bottles of drinking water a day and taking 600 mg magnesium w/ silica at h.s., and it had been very helpful for quite a while. Seems to have stopped working. I've wondered if taking 1200mg mag w/ silica a day would be harmful.
Do you still feel that nortriptyline is/was your best bet though, as far as the TCAs go, and if so, why?
thankyou, cf
