Hi, Bob!

Still at the public library. I kind of like this not having internet at home. Let's see how long it lasts.
Anyway, re: your question, the only TCA I ever tried was amytriptiline, which I can never spell correctly, and of course I could just say, Elavil, but there is something about that brand name I dislike. It was the very first AD I ever tried, so I was not on anything else. Elizabeth, I "wigged out", meaning had a severe reaction, in which the following happened simultaneously: I was so hyped up and agitated, almost climbing the walls. The only thing keeping me from actually climbing the walls was the second thing, which was I was extremely sedated, to the point that my speech was slurred, my muscle coordination minimal, I could barely stand up and walk without holding on to the walls. I looked drunk as a skunk, only on the inside I was speeeeeeeeeeding. And this was from just one 25 mg. dose. I think all of this is the anticholinergic effects, because I used to get a very very mild form of the same reaction from benadryl and other antihistamines.
