> i have tried many antidepressants. people in this discussion group suggest that i try nortip. i have a few questions before i ask my pdoc to perscribe this tca. from personal experience is there a huge difference between ssri's and nortip? does nortip cause emotional numbing like the ssri's? does nortip in general give patients a sense of well being?

Only a personal trial will tell. We're all so different in metabolism, genetics, and underlying chemical imbalance. I wish there was an easier way to predict. But in general, if you have already been disappointed with serotonin antidepressants, it might make sense to briefly explore an NE antidepressant like Nortrip. And if no better results, move on to completely different class of drugs outside of the antidepressant bandwagon. No sense in trying zillions of antidepressants when the particular individual's chemical imblance is something an antidepressant won't fix.
