> Have been taking amitriptyline 75mg for depression/anxiety for ten days. Have had a few moments with more energy but I don't know if I can attribute that to amitrip. 'Weird' thing is I don't have any side effects worth mentioning that are typical to TCAs.
> Other TCAs I've been on have given me the typical side effects. I'm not gonna raise the dose just yet, if it was to start helping at this dose it would be a very good thing.

Started on 200mg of Pamelor (non-generic Nortriptyline), started working the first day. Side effects came on gradually (mainly dry mouth). A few more SEs after switching to generic. A lot of these I attributed to depression itself. Most will pass in about a year.
