hi mark---the negatives of tcas (tricyclics)---they decrase sleeping salivation which protects teeth, tremor, possible palpitations, dry mouth, sweating---if you read the full disclosure page on any med, or search the net, you will see a lot of scary stuff on just about anything. the maois require a modified diet---that's covered on 'psycho-babble', modern guidelines are more liberal, but still, unless it's the newer maoi-b, deprenyl, you can't gobble aged foods, cheese and other foods---stroke could result. yeah, sounds bad---but they all do if you start reading precautions. contraindications. like many old and new drugs, overdose may be lethal---but please, never consider that for 'self-destructive' use. i met a 25-tear-old that tried that with the old tca elavil. a week before, he was making whoopie with girl-friend. no more whoopie---just heart-damage big time. i would exhaust 'talk-therapy', actually, before any drug. it works. regards
