I thank you. I appreciate your reassuring and understanding words. I know what you mean about the SSRIs and brain deadness. Although my first experience on a SSRI eight years ago was positive, my recent experiences have been more of a dead from the neck up feeling. Being in the here and now in body but not in mind and spirit. It's kind of like life is passing you by, and you don't or can't give a damn. Well, I hope I have the same positive experience you had on Anafranil.
Take good care, and good luck to you in your treatment.

> I used to be terrified of any meds, now I am just so desperate to return to a normal life....I was never considering a TCA but then a clinic I went to simply prescribed it with no input from me, and my experience with it got me to lower barriers to drug classes other than SSRIs-I saw they weren't as evil as made out to be. In fact, now I am open to anything BUT SSRIs, the sexual side effects and brain-deadedness now keeps me away from those. I also wanted Provigil, my pdoc was not happy but said OK...but my insurance pushed me to try other (cheaper) things first. Good luck with these meds and your pdoc.
