> Seems like the TCA's are becoming popular again. Good question. I think I'll google search it and see what some sites say. Are you thinking of going on one. I did try a few two don't remember their name but pamelar at l0 plastered me to the bed couldn't move was so tired it was unbelieveable to me as no meds even in combos have let me sleep for more than four hours. I'm older and the profile of TCA's And heart problems concerns as heart disease runs in my family. Phillipa
Seems like you overeact to meds. I've had pamelor up to 75 mg and was not plastered to the bed. At 10 mg mild sedation to help with sleep. Plastered to the bed on 10 mg? At low dosages should not affect the heart. Wonder if you're what is know as a neurotic in terms of your reaction to meds. Burns describes it in his book. Neurotic depressives can't tolerate meds due to a neurotic overreaction to meds and hence have a bad prognosis in general.
