It didn't work out for me, but I did have a mood boost -- a SIGNIFICANT mood boost -- when I hit 150mg, and another at 200mg. Unfortunately, for me, those only lasted a few days. Great while it lasted, though...
Side effects I had were constipation, some lethargy, and after those few good days, increased depression. That's me, though -- and I have trouble with a lot of drugs. (I can't take most of the TCAs because of blood pressure issues, I've had weight gain over 50 pounds or more on the three drugs I've been on longest, constipation and lethargy and sedation and amotivation on nearly everything, etc. Some of the TRD is that I'm unwilling to get rid of depression, only to find that I'm too sedated by medication to function any better than while depressed...)
It's not great for anxiety, but have you tried Wellbutrin? (Which I mention largely because it's not an SSRI nor a TCA?)
