Hi Phillipa,
Yeah, unfortunately we are moving backwards in a lot of ways. I'm not saying the TCAs shouldn't be prescribed. There is a lot of suffering out there, and we need more knowledgeable doctors willing to prescribe the meds that are needed.
The SSRIs are ineffective for many people, and so there needs to be alternatives that can be tried.
In Canada, we are moving towards legalization of marijuana (likely by June 2018). Its sad that many people will be self medicating with pot for pain, because doctors are in a war on opiates.
