Well Luvox, Prozac, and Paxil are the most potent enzyme inhibitors. Less inhibiting would be Zoloft. Much less so would be Celexa or Lexapro. Little inhibition would occur from Effexor (from what I understand). Switching TCA isn't going to affect that too much (it is the "substrate" med). I have tried Zoloft + Nortriptyline with some good success. Actually, it isn't too bad a deal (if you are careful).. you get to take less TCA! Basically, choose the TCA that you "like" the best, and add the SSRI you "like" the best and carefully adjust the doses of both. The bottom line is not to let yourself get "toxic" on too high a serum level of the TCA. Stims and TCA happen, but they are generally frowned on. There's another spot you will need to watch out and have doctor guidance on.
