Hi, UD.

That's a really interesting strategy. I didn't know that about trimipramine.
What's your best guess as to why trimipramine has value as an antidepressant? What mechanisms do you think might be involved?/
> Trimipramine has substantial antipsychotic properties. I recall reading about a German trial, where many psychotic patients could be discharged from hospital with trimipramine as their only antipsychotic.
I've been away too long. I never heard of that. That should be taught in every medical school.
