Thanks for the caution.
You are right. I am not normally an alarmist. Results using mice and fruit flies are preliminary, and I don't know if there is a statistical correlation between these drugs and cancer in humans. You would think it would have shown up in the human population by now. Genotoxicity is a scary proposition, though. I am glad that nortriptyline works better for me than desipramine. I would like nothing better than to be able to use desipramine were I to need it. I guess when it comes to risk versus benefit, there has not been enough of a quantification to make an informed decision.
What are you basing your caution on?
