LOL! Maybe Sal and I should go on Politically Incorrect sometime.
BTW, when amoxapine first came out, they tried to claim that it would work faster than other TCAs, too. Amoxapine, although it too shares the usual TCA problems, is interesting and novel, at least, in that it's a mixed-action antidepressant (NE reuptake inhibitor/DA antagonist). Anecdotally, I've heard of amoxapine being used successfully in combination with Parnate. (When I tried adding amoxapine to Parnate, I started getting ravenously hungry at about 75 mg. Having had an unpleasant weight-gain experience on Nardil, I chickened out.)
Weird that maprotiline (like most TCAs, an antihistamine) would cause pruritis; I didn't know about that one.
