I took tricyclics for years,amitrip...I'm not a doc but wonder why your doc isn't going with the newer meds like Wellbutrin or Effexor first. Prozac isn't the only SSRI to try. Paxil, Zoloft,
whatever! Some of the side effects I had with tricyclics were not fun! You shouldn't have to suffer. Personally I would find another doc.

> I have been living with depressive illness for the last 18 months or so. I have been taking the trycylic known as dothiepin/prothiedin for the pa
st year after the initial failure of prozac.
> Despite the best efforts of medication, cognitive therapy and, not least, myself I am still engaged in a continuing daily struggle. I am due to start with 0.5mg of flupenthixol in the near future. Does anybody have any advice or experiences that they could share with me? I'd be grateful hearing form anyone. Regards to all out there in depression-world!
