Do antidepressants alter dopamine for the worse?

Posted by Michaelho on September 4, 2011, at 6:58:16

I have been prescribed a Trycyclic called elavil. I read a post on here in 2009, stating that antidepressants lower dopamine function permanently. Is this still the common opinion?
Why have I been given a trycyclic AD for anxiety and not an ssri? Don't TCA's cause more side effects?
