As a Babble member going way, way back I concur with bleauberry's "anecdotal" observations.
Among the TCA's, I found Vivactyl, protriptyline most effective. Is it still made anymore?
I'm firmly in the MAOI camp. Ever since Prozac was introduced the definition of depression keeps loosening and loosening. DSM-V is a joke.
Truly disabling melancholic depression ought to be treated swiftly and promptly by whatever mean necessary. MAOIS are the gold standard, followed by ECT. Ipronaizid was the prototype.
