"it appears that the concentrations of nortriptyline and chlorpromazine which produced barrier changes were in the toxic range. "
Is your dosage of nortriptyline in the toxic range?
Has this experiment been repeated since 1972?
Nitroglycerine and digitalis are "toxic", yet they save lives every day. This is true of oodles and oodles of drugs.
I don't get it. Since the 1950s, people have been made well their whole lives using TCAs. People take these drugs for decades. In real life, where is the BBB toxicity? What are you afraid of that will happen if your BBB permeability is changed in the manner described by the study you cited?
Perhaps you have more evidence of an effect of TCA on BBB and what that effect has on one's quality of life. I would like to know it. I take nortriptyline, too. For now, I would love to be confronted with your dilemma.
