In reply to melancholic vs non-melancholic, posted by eris-24 on January 30, 2003, at 1:30:55

I have a classic case of recurrent melancholic depression. My one try of an SSRI, Paxil, had little effect and made me nauseated and jittery. My main med for the last 20 years has been imipramine. The received wisdom is that TCAs are better for melancholic depression than SSRIs. There may even be some research to back up that perception. However, I think the differences from patient to patient drown out any statistical superiority.

Cheers,
Britt
