I tried trimipramine up to 100mg but it was too sedating and I gained weight. Amitryptiline was the same thing. Lofepramine made me very nervous and agitated. What about clomipramine - but together with my cocktail it could be dangerous ?! I think the main problem is pain, but my pdoc sees it from depression!? Nefazodone was very good but no more available. Trazodone is much more sedating. I dont know what to do.
