> NRIs do not have the immediate 'feel good' effect that stimulants often produce. If they are going to work, they normally do so over a period of a few weeks. You might notice some improvement after a couple of weeks. Like all widely prescribed ADs, the AD effect appears to occur mainly in response to adaptations in the brain, and is therefore not immediate, but delayed and sustained. With tricyclic NRIs, the appearance of the AD effect is thought to be correlated with beta adrenergic receptor down-regulation in the brain.

>im really not sure which NRI id like to try. ive not read much into Tricyclics and the experiences people tend to have with them. though i plan to before my dr visit. So i basically had Strattera in mind in mind at the moment, even with it not being FDA Aproved for Depression, that doesnt mean a whole lot to me. i doubt if the med i tried that had the biggest benefit for me in the past, Cyproheptadine, would be approved for Depression.
and unless its different with Tricyclics, ive read Stratteras benefefits usually occur with the "Alpha" Adrenergic receptors, and not the Beta Receptors?
