Gary,
Glad to see you are doing well, not me. 3 hours sleep last night.
I thought that doxepin and especially trimpramine have very low affinity for nor-reuptake? I think desipramine and the nnortryptiline are higher.
I recall the following numbers from a former post.
Desipramine (Norpramin) 110
Doxepin (Adapin, Sinequan)5
Imipramine (Tofranil) 8
Nortriptyline (Pamelor) 25
Trimiprmanie (Surmontil) 0.2
amitryptline 4I don't know exactly what they measure but it appears some are do not affect NE reuptake very much. Which tca's were the worst for you?
How did you titrate up on lexapro without anxiety going throught the roof. Paxil and luvox were horrible for me. Paxil being the worst. I wonder if lexapro is better? I can't take benzo's so I don't know how to start a med.
Do you know anything about anafranil? I do know that remeron increased anxiety for me and made me a jerk.
That sure doesn't leave very many meds to try for anxiety.
Congrats Gary. You deserve to feel better.
