However, I have added the TCA to the MAOI lots of times without adverse effect. So, this tradition leaves one with the option of starting the TCA first or starting them both at the same time. I don't believe this tradition, mainly because I haven't had a problem. However, I thought that you should know.

>Hi:
Sounds like a good plan to me, too, Blulldog!I think the reason my pdoc started a TCA first was that I started it with Wellbutrin, and as I titrated down on Wellbutrin I went up on the TCA, so I wasn't left without an AD in my system for that time or for the 14 day washout period.
Bulldog, you'll be a new man with your new hip! A good friend of mine had both of hers done, a year apart, and never missed a ski season on the slopes! before or after. She loves her new hips; doesn't limp or anything! I hope it's good for you, too.
