Thanks SLS
What do you mean by this:
> Add back nortriptyline if there is a hint of improvement on Valdoxan alone.Would you remove Nortriptyline? I am now taking 75 mg Nort together with the 25 mg Valdoxan. This is the way my p-doc always do, overlapping.
Please bear with me, I am not stupid, I am just not sure what you mean by " Add back"...
> Your changes in mood might be a sign that your brain is changing in a good way. Being weepy can indicate a return of more robust emotions. That you experienced a temporary improvement is a good sign. The ascent through the darkness of depression is not always a steady climb. You will likely have what I call "retreats" in which a worsening of depression occurs occasionally, even though the trend toward improvement over time is obvious.

> Time: 2 weeks minimum at 12.5 - 25mg. I would certainly continue for at least 4 weeks as long as you are tolerating the drug.
