> If youre dabbling in the world of TCA anyway....have you read about or thought about trying 'Doxepin' (www.mentalhealth.com/drug/p30-s03.html)? This is one of the TCA's on my list to try if I try TCA's (in fact probably will be my first TCA trial if/when I do (well I tried amitrip. which was blah gargabe for me)...Ive read studies which show that is pretty effective for those of us who suffer alot of anxiety (like social anxiety, gad, etc..). Think about this mabye? I'm sure your pdoc will know about it, it's old.

> mycoHi Myco!
In fact, I begin friday the Clomipramine, it's an idea that I suggest to my PDOc... In all the TCA's list, it's the one who hit more the SE and less the NE...so mean less heart problem for me...we will see...I know the Doxepin...I talk about it also to my PDoc, since i'm already a lot tired at daytime and that I need something more energizing for me, it will not help me to add a TCA who will make me apathic and without any energy at daytime...
We will see...anyway I have an emergency plan if the Clomipramine fail... it's call the Marplan...another maoi...but for now, I think that I give to MAOI a good try...it's time to move to another category of drugs...
I will keep you inform about the Clomipramine ok ;-) For a good source of information about TCA'S just go on wikipedia, they sorts all the TCA's in a "table" and you can compare them together...what they hit (SE, NE, DA and others things like these..that's a good source of informations I think...but that's just a wikipedia page...mean that I don't trust it a 100%...
Have a great day !
Bye!
VInce ;-)
