Thank you Linkadge and johnj. Excellent advice. I think I'm on a mission now to "strongly" suggest to my doc to give me a shot with a TCA. In the short time I've known him, he's been very accommodating, more than most docs I've met. It's just when I make suggestions like a TCA--I seem to remember mentioning this, but you know how it is, spit out as many words as you can in 5-10min then it's out the door--and a MAOI or Lithium, stuff like that, but he leans toward the newer drugs, as most do. I think it's primarily because of money and the believe that science is always advancing. But that's not always the case; case in point, BENZOS. They still can't beat the efficacy of those drugs developed in the '60's.
Anyways, I think with enough prodding he'll go for it.
Link, johnj suggested Nortryptyline. How does it fare against Amitryptyline and Doxepin? Also, is Cyproheptadine similar in chemistry and effects to Zoplicone?
