Yes, nort is a TCA, but I think the beauty of TCAs (if I am remembering correctly) is that they all work differently. So, if you can't tolerate nort, you may well be able to tolerate Tofranil.
Dinah, do you think your pdoc may be concerned about prescribing a MAOI because of your diabetes and the diet you have to follow for that? He no doubt has your best interests at heart.
