Prozac is probably too stimulating for me... I need something to put some weight on me and calm me down :=D ;=)
Lyrica is an interesting one. I would very much like to try it. Seems to work like a Benzo light or something....
I am avoiding effexor due to its short half life. Mirtazapine is an interesting one! Together with Nortriptyline the most interesting add-on.
Tricyclics... don't know. Weight gain wouldn't be a problem.... not sure how severe anticholinergic side effects are... maybe Amitriptyline or Clomipramine?
