> Maybe go up to 5mg Lex or 10mg Lex along with the Nortriptyline? That is a true SNRI, except you have the ability to finetune the NE and the 5HT components to your liking.

> Check out Dr Gillman's writings at PsychoTropical Research. I think you'll be encouraged to know you were on the right track with the two meds combined, but maybe the Lex was too high, and now it is too low.Thanks a lot for that, a true gold mine of info this web site PsychoTropical.
When I took 85 mg Nort and 20 mg Lex combined, the concentration value for Nort was 297, with NO Lex dose it was 157, almost half, just by taking away Lex (the window is 190-570).
Now I am at 125 mg Nort, feeling slightly dizzy and tired, taking 80 mg at bed time and 45 mg in the morning. Some ups and downs almost everyday.
I am seriously considering adding Lex again as suggested, but I guess I have to wait some more to see how the Nort dosage suits me, also PD has to agree, question is how long?
Been on 125 mg for 3 days now and gone from 85 to this level during 2½ weeks.
