I am on Escitalopram 5mg, which is okay. That is 60% SERT occupancy. (I can't stand strong SRIs. Zoloft 50mg, 75mg and 100mg made me a zombie and anorectic)
Now I ve been thinking about adding something with 5HT2 antagonism. I once tried Mirtazapine, but that gave me RLS. Amitriptyline has 5HT2 antagonism and additionally it has some powerful NRI and antimuscarinic action. It seems to be quite a potent med, but sedation frightens me.
