Yeah, I just got a script for Nortryptiline. I was wondering if this med has strong enough 5HT2 antagonism to counterbalance with the Effexor for anxiety? I know you mentioned Doxepin and amitryptiline, and I mentioned these to the doctor, but he gave me Nortyptiline.
I checked out the Wiki page for this med, and it states it's involved in the uptake inhibition of norepinephrine. Wouldn't this be similar to Remeron? Also, it stated that sleep would be disrupted for a while until improvement appears.
How would you rate this TCA compared to the others as an augmenting agent with Effexor for the contribution of anxiolytic and hypnotic effects?
Thanks
PS. Read your above post in the Best TCA thread. Very thorough. Do you by chance have an advanced degree in neuroscience or do you just simply read a lot on this subject?
