How does this study on Nortriptyline prove that ssris are still the best? It's one study. There are many other tcas and how about maois? There never was any study to my knowledge that ssris are the best.
There are now studies out that ssris are barely better than placebo for depression. There are studies out that tcas and maois are better than ssris for moderate to major depression.
We have to look for scientific studies to find the truth. If ssris were so great you wouldn't have so many desparate people coming here for alternate options.
You never tried an maoi and any tca you tried you quickly discontinued. I find your statement puzzling.
