I wouldn't say that the TCA's aren't good drugs. For some people they are highly effective drugs.
For me, SSRI's produce apathy at best.
Clomipramine was probably one of the only drugs that I would classify as an antidepressant.
Some theorize that the anticholinergic actions of the drugs are a necessary part of their overall efficacy in some depression. The combination of anticholinergic action + noradrenergic action is going to give an even more pronounced push allong that axis.
