If you consider amitryptline(Elavil), you might consider nortryptline(Pamelor) instead. The former is metabolized to te latter, but it lacks many of the side effects. The downside is that Pamelor is more expensive than Elavil.

As for stimulants, stay away from pemoline(Cylert) as it may be toxic to the liver, and is also weaker and slower acting than amphetamine or methylphenidate. There is some evidence for an antiobsessive effect of stimulants.

An interesting point about clonazepam(Klonopin) and alprazolam(Xanax) is that they also act on serotonin, as well as GABA systems. BTW clonazepam probably stays with you longer than 18h as its half life is 19-60h.
