I think for people dabbling in tricyclics, they get better faster results by going with Ritalin or Adderall or Modafinil combinations with other antidepressants rather than straight antidepressants. I think too often we mess around with things that take forever to work, if they work at all, you never know, but we ignore the things that work in mere hours or days.
If you ask me, any SSRI (but Prozac is the best) combined with a stimulant is likely to blow any tricyclic or Cymbalta in the weeds and it is likely to do so within just days or a couple weeks.
