> I wish u luck,and unluck usualy,i hope im wrong here,but my reason above, is amtrip,and i dont know where the other poster got the idea it was the bes of that time,doesent hold much history as as antidepressant as it does for sleep.
Amitriptyline has been holding the track record of being the golden standard for depression in the US for decades, while imipramine or clomipramine were having that status elsewhere. At least for inpatients who are severely depressed, the TCA's are still superior to the SSRI's. Amitriptyline definitely is more than a sleep drug, although in lower doses, its antidepressant properties may be overshadowed by its sedative properties.
