> I am very glad you are doing well, as I know how long it took you to find your 'mix'. Each of us...genetic blends...with uncertain ends...that's a song, I think..lol. I have found nortriptyline to be both energizing (likely it's norepinephrine effect) and sedating (anticholinergic effects). But, glad it is working!

But, I have added 10mg of Trintellix, and wow, after a month, with these 2 changes, I have become the more relaxed guy I *thought* I was...but the damn Effexor, at higher doses, was way, way too stimulating!! Trintellix apparently has some type of small effect on the cholinergic system, and I don't think it is anticholinergic. Maybe, a small bump up of choline transmission, with all my anticholinergics, is a good thing! We will see.

That is so rewarding to read. I hope you continue move forward with your recovery (biological, psychological, occupational, and vocational).

Trintellix is an unusual antidepressant. It binds to a surprising number of different receptor subtypes. This includes the blocking of the serotonin 5-HT7 receptor, one that has been the target of much study recently in the treatment of depression.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
