In reply to Which antidepressants are 'less' activating?, posted by Mtom on August 5, 2021, at 16:12:53
The TCAs are definitely NOT less effective than the SSRIs. Many studies show they are equivalent or superior.
More sedating antidepressants may include:
fluvoxamine
paxil
trazodone
mirtazapine
amitriptyline
trimipramine
doxepin
clomipramine (look into this one)
amoxapineDon't write off the TCAs. I found them much more tolerable (and effective) than the SSRIs. On paper (for instance) nortriptyline is supposed to be activating, but I found it much less activating than something like zoloft.
