Pamalor releives depresssion and anxiety - effective dose between 50 and 150mg per day (usualy 75-100mg)
It can cuase some weight gain, but it isnt as bad as some of the tricyclics, and in your current condition, I think a few pounds weight gain would be a small price to pay for releif
You can get extra antidepressant effect by combining Pamelor with an SSRI (Zoloft, Lexapro or Celexa, NOT Paxil or Prozac)
20mg is a subtheraputic dose (like taking half an aspirin for a headache), i would enciurage you to push it to 75mg asap, then geta blood test after 2 weeks to see wether you need to go higher, go lower, or stay at that point.
