TCA's get an undeservedly bad rap. Most people who take them lose most of the side-effects with time. However, since you don't like the idea of TCA's why not try effexor which has a NE/Serotonin profile quite like a TCA but with fewer side effects (for most people). If a trial of Effexor doesn't work reconsider a TCA.
