I am fascinated that clomipramine gets a ++ for D2 blockade & I'd also like to see the comparison of the different TCA's that this book offers.

I actually got it because my local Barnes & Noble had it, and I was fascinated by the receptor chart. It is interesting, but bear in mind that it is based on classic studies from the 90's involving rodent tissue. I have other data derived from human cadaver tissue that suggests that the TCAs may be more serotonergic in people than they are in rats or mice. The pharmacology of psychotropic drugs does seem to vary depending on which particular study you are looking at.
