Fachad,
This info is so invaluable. It is so wonderful to correspond with you. You have helped so much. Google, medline, etc search hasn't been as helpful as you have been to me. I am so appreciative!That is interesting you have heard of others getting short fused on Ami. Do you think this is simply related to Ami? Have you heard of Doxepin causing grouchiness too??? I wonder if all the ACh properties have something to do with this the grouchiness. Can you speculate?

Well, if it is the NE reuptake, Doxepin has slightly more! So I guess it wouldn't make a difference...But I am just really wanting to find out if I could be more civil on another TCA.BTW, Trimipramine really is out, because even though I have been back on the Ami for 3 days, I still have awful EPS. This happens when I take an AP. It takes weeks to stop the EPS that only a pill or two with dopamine can cause :(.
>>fachad: I don't mind at all - I like to be able to share some of this stuff I've picked up. Another cool thing about doxepin, it comes in a liquid form. I just like that idea both on general principal, and because it allows for very minute dosage adjustments. Doxepin is also a dirt cheap generic.Thanks again for sharing your insights and experiences. Look forward to hearing more, if you have the energy!
>> Hope doxepin works for you.
Me too! But I am kinda scared to try...Med changes are always such an adjustment! And a gamble.
