> Surprisingly, my pdoc's first suggestion was to add bupropion the the mixture, keeping the lofepramine too. But I opted for a switch in TCAs 1st. He was willing to try 3 TCAs starting with trimipramine (Surmontil). If that fails then amitryptyline and finally, imipramine. Although imipramine would be used after various other options have been tried- ie a last resort.
