> I didn't mean to shame you into it!I'm sure you know that I was just kidding. Actually, I often must do what I am capable of in the present because I might be incapable of doing it in the future. These illnesses are very unpredictable. I figured that since I felt well enough to snoop a little for you, that I should take advantage of it.

I usually go on Friday nights. As you might imagine, I am not always in the mood to get up in front of others and sing. My friends usually manage to shame me into it, though. To be honest, I have no idea why I subject myself to this stuff. I am not a "ham" and still get nervous when I go up on stage. I guess it is some old adolescent fantasy of being a rock star that gets me up there. It gets me out of the house and around people.
I hate amitriptyline. I find it to be disgustingly sedating, even after continued treatment. Generally speaking, amitriptyline will get a few more people well than nortriptyline, but I don't find the difference in numbers to be compelling enough to choose amitriptyline first. Besides, urinary retention might be more of a problem with amitriptyline because of its more potent anticholinergic side effects.
I am currently taking Parnate and nortriptyline. Previously, I had been taking Nardil and nortriptyline.
