Yes, I did have a few "menages-a-deux". I dated imipramine and lithium, but they didn't get along well; I got a nasty tremor, so I dumped the lithium. I also remember carrying on with imipramine and venlafaxine at the same time, but I found it no more satisfying than imipramine alone, so I dumped the venlafaxine. I know, I'm a bit of a cad where ADs are concerned, but I keep searching for the right one, and I've pretty much concluded that there isn't a right one. Remember, all I'm asking for is an AD that works as well as aspirin does for headaches, and has no mentally disabling side-effects. I've yet to hear even the slightest rumour that such a thing exists. Imipramine has the virtue of actually working, but at the cost of one's entire mental life; that's pretty high maintenance. The others mostly don't work, or cause headaches, crippling anxiety, anorgasmia, potentially fatal liver failure and/or plagues of &*^# brain locusts. I may as well just punch myself in the nose every time I feel depressed; it won't make the depression go away, and it will add to the misery of life, all for ZERO DOLLARS A MONTH!
