> I don't mind at all. It is much appreciated. You do realize, however, that you just set yourself up to be asked a few more questions! I apologize in advance if you have already directly or indirectly answered the questions I am about to ask (I have been somewhat absent-minded the past couple of weeks and I am really a bit too tired right now to focus on doing more research). So, here goes. Do you find 50 mg gives an adequate antidepressant effect? Did nortriptyline help you in terms of motivation? In addition to helping with panic, do you find it has been effective for the "what if" thoughts that can stop a person if their tracks?

Nortriptyline definitely helps with motivation.

as for 'what if' thoughts, I think it is somewhat helpful-hard to say. Clonazepam is a lot better than nortriptyline for this, because i noticed I wasn't having them when I took an extra Klonopin before going to a party.

As for 50 mg providing an adequate AD effect, that's also hard to say because I'm not really using it for depression at the moment- I'm using it to prevent cataplexy. I certainly don't want to become depressed again, and I don't want to press my luck, if you know what I mean, but let's say that my problems have been elsewhere lately.
