>> Did you experience acid reflux on SSRI's or on amitriptyline?
No = SSRIs. Don't think so = amitriptyline in early 1990s.
I'm on a very high dose of the clomipramine (150mg BID), which may be a factor. I'm only willing to put up with some of the annoying side effects (such as Heart/cardio, constipation, shaky hands, very dry mouth, urinary hesitation, word slurring/finding (cognitive impairment), exercise tolerance, & dizzy when stand up) because the clomipramine is very helpful for my depression. If I finally have enough of the side effects or it starts losing effectiveness, Cymbalta is next for me to try.
