> For me, the only things that help are the ones that completely wipe out my memory. There's nothing like amitriptyline to completely forget what the problems was in the first place, and then blast ahead with new energy an enthusiasm towards who the f*ck knows what. It's the only way to live.
Perhaps amitriptyline is too anticholinergic for you. What advantages are there to taking amitriptyline compared to nortriptyline for your case, specifically? What are you trying to accomplish with amitriptyline that you can't accomplish with any other drug? If sleep is the issue, and you wanted some sort of mood improvement and enhanced sleep architecture, maybe trimipramine is worth considering. I know that genotoxicity is an important consideration for you, though.
After so many years of posting, I think we perhaps don't review our diagnosis and symptoms often enough.
I was very happy when you reported your depression remitting. What happened?
