Harry P,

Currently I am taking Amitriptyline with Lithium augmentation. Prior to that my Psychiatrist had me on Nardil (50mg) together with Surmontil (100mg) and Tegretol - It had some effect but I was left with Confusion and underlying depression. This suprised my Pysch as he believed this combination was as effective as ect.

Thanks for your response.

Cheers

Wraith
