In reply to Anyone prefer TCA to MAOI?, posted by tom2228 on March 17, 2014, at 19:45:01
The one thing about taking a tca over an maoi is you get the flexibility of adding other medications in order to augment your treatment-and sometimes that's necessary to treat depression.
If your depression is severe as you say, the only TCAs that are going to measure up to Marplan in Imipramine and Clomipramine.
>I only feel like myself on Marplan. I don't know who I am off of it.
You probably are beset with symptoms that your inner self says "why am I feeling this way?"
>I am afraid I will lose my self of self.
You will never lose your sense of self, I gaurantee it.
>Is there anyone who can reassure me that a TCA might just work better?
A TCA might just work better
