Actually I kind of liked nortriptyline, but could barely handle a dose of 25mg and had to quit. The usual TCA side effects for me were intense.Desipramine was even better...nice mood effect, but again the side effects...they were even worse than nortriptyline. Desipramine was up and down dramatically too. For a few hours it had me relaxed and feeling good, but then the stimulation would kick in and it was way over intense. There were good moments inbetween. But again, I just can't handle TCAs. Too rough for me. I have to be as clear headed as I can be at my job, and you know how foggy and blurry the TCAs can be. It was pretty bad.
So I would think reboxetine would be a good choice...not! It created severe depression on top of my already existing depression. There is something special about the TCAs. Now if only they could reinvent them without the anticholinergic part. :(
