> Would you consider adding a TCA - either desipramine or nortriptyline? If it works, it probably won't poop-out. I recommend desipramine. It is more energizing and is less serotonergic. You might as well get more aggressive at this point. Trying to get addition of tca by gp may be an issue but worth a shot.

>Hey Scott,
By augmenting with a tca (you mention nortrip. or desip.) is it the NE of the maoi that you are increasing with them?..so the stimulation that makes you jump out of bed in the morning full of life even after a few hours of sleep is NE?...as well as (for me anyway) that strange feeling of stimulation in the major muscles that feels energizing...know what I mean? Thats part of what I notice really varies alot with nardil and seems to be dissapating over time (one of the parts that makes taking nardil enjoyable/looking forward to). Is that what you mean or are trying to do with the TCA? And you think adding that NE boost will keep away the "poop out", in this case relating to NE, and prevent loss of effect? And what do you think about amitrip instead of desip or nortrip?
thanks for helping out, means alot for me to get opinions and others experience during treatment.
