> Nortriptyline by itself has been known to be effective as an antidepressant. In addition to NE reuptake inhibition, it also blocks 5-HT2a receptors, which might help make it less "harsh" than desipramine. Just about every antidepressant can induce a switch into mania, but the TCAs are considered particularly liable in this regard. How often do you experience hypomania? Is it spontaneous, or does it happen only in response to medication? Is it a mixed state with persistent depressive symptoms or irritability, or is it more pleasantly energizing with expansive thinking or delusions of grandeur?

Do you consider nortriptyline to be better than doxepin or surmontil?
