Hi Crotale,

Thanks for the thorough explanation of TCA's. It brought back some bad memories of first year organic chem, but I think I followed. :)

The idea, according to my pdoc, is that since I was so somnolent on nortriptylline, yet I have prominent anxiety, clomipramine balances anxiolytic effects with activating effects a bit better. This remains to be seen.

I agree with you that a bad experience with Nardil shouldn't rule out the other MAOI's for me. I wanted to try Parnate, I really did. Unfortunately, the overwhelming opinion from 2 pdocs and 2 neuros is that I should not go back on a MAOI except as a last resort. So I have to give clomipramine a try. Maybe it will work, who knowws? I'm not holding my breath though. Thanks again for your thoughtful response!

Phoenix.
