I kind of disagree with that, as in some people (myself included) tricyclics make me impotent.
> There are older anti-depressants, tricylics, which do not have sexual side effects. The family is nortriptyline, protriptyline, and amitriptyline. They were the greatest until Prozac was created. The main side effects are weight gain and constipation. So you really have to exercise religiously, drink lots of water, and stay on a low calorie diet (protein & salads & vegetables). But that's all healthy anyhow. The tricylics also are calming. Sometimes they are prescribed for sleep disorders.
