Wellbutrin is the first AD that comes to mind. For the most part the TCA's are out, except perhaps Desipramine (Norpramin® and Pertofrane®) . MAOI's are all dirty drugs, like Effexor, so they are out.
The other norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (NRI's, don't of weakly touch serotonin) on market are Atomoxetine (Strattera,Attentin), Maprotiline (Deprilept®, Ludiomil®, Psymion®), Reboxetine (Edronax®, Norebox®, Prolift®, Solvex® or Vestra®) and Viloxazine (Emovit®, Vivalan®, Vivarint®, Vicilan®). I'm not sure what country you are in so I also listed brand names from other countries.
Reboxetine was not approved for use in the US.Interesting that you get this problem with serotonin effecting AD's, norepinephrine effecting AD's are associated with urine retention. norepinephrine effecting AD's are my mainstay AD and I do have hesitation/retention just a bit at first and this totally goes aways with time.
So I would say Wellbutrin would be a good next trial or Desipramine, There are generic's for each. Wellbutrin seems to be well liked for its
lack of side effects. I take it and have no side effects from it.The novel approach would be Lamictal, and antiseizure med used on label for bipolar and off label for depression. I think it is more reasonable to work through the AD's first but
wanted to give you as many options as possible.
