In reply to Need Advice next Tricyclic Antedepressant to try, posted by reconscout on January 6, 2013, at 18:27:03
I agree with Shep - take the nortriptyline along with a low dose beta blocker (say atenolol 25mg)
Most of the tricyclics will leave you groggy and sedated the next day, atleast initialy, nortriptyline and desipramine are the least likely to do this.
I'd start the nortriptyline at 10mg and slwoly build up to an effective dose (which can be between 50 and 150mg per day) Start the atenolol at 12.5mg per day and slowly increase to 25 or 50mg, as well as keeping your heart rate steady, this will also be very helpful for your anxiety.
