> Peter, it sounds like pursuing the "depressive-anxiety" angle might be a good idea to me, IMO, especially if you haven't had any clearcut hypomanias. SSRI's sound bad because of the recurring substance abuse associated with them. Adderall can aggravate anxiety. The TCA idea might be a good one (with Klonopin). FWIW, desipramine has a history of *reducing* alcohol cravings for some (also helps ADD). ---Mitch
> Thanks Mitch, I agree. My pdoc doesn't, but I do. I'll probably leave him and go to someone who does. BTW-is desipramine better than imipramine or the other TCA'a (don't know much about them? And are TCA's better than effexor, since it also affects Serotonin AND NE?
Thanks,
Peter
