Alpha blockers such as Cardura, Hytrin, and Flomax can alleviate the prostate difficulties associated with tricyclics and NE reuptake inhibitors. I had very good results even with the ridiculously anticholinergic Vivactil. As for Ludiomil, my understanding is that this is relatively sedating, and sedating ADs and I do not get along, so I never had any interest in trying it. Of course, it also has the seizure thing, which appears to be real and quite a bit worse than Wellbutrin. My impression is that this drug is totally obscure and very rarely used.Todd
