Yes, but trazodone is not a TCA. It is a weak inhibitor of serotonin reuptake and does a bunch of other stuff (good and bad), but it does not inhibit the reuptake of NE like the true TCAs do. I wouldn't recommend that you not try trazodone. You never know what drug is going to hit the right target. However, if you are motivated to try a TCA at this point, you might want to look at drugs like nortriptyline or desipramine or even Asendin - a TCA with antipsychotic activity. If you have already tried loxapine and failed to respond to it, then don't bother with Asendin. Asendin is like a combination of imipramine and loxapine. You know, the anticholinergic properties of the TCAs impramine and protriptyline might mitigate your involuntary movement issues.
