I guess it all just depends on the person though, you might have some luck and it might be worth trying. Good luckYeah, Effexor worked pretty well for me the first time I took it - my mood was flattened a bit, but I was definitely not depressed. After being off of everything for 6 months, my depression relapsed and I tried Effexor again, but it didn't work the second time and I had terrible side effects. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything that really has worked for me since. Haven't ventured into the waters of the TCAs yet, though, which is why I'm asking.
Thanks!
