My son has been taking Nortryptylin at a low dose for anxiety and has improved. He had to change docs because of insurance and the new doc was shocked he was taking this drug. He said it was very old and that there were better ones. He suggested Lexapro. I'm wondering why he wouldn't increase the dose of Nortryptylin instead of changing to a drug with more side effects and withdrawal problems? My son also takes Ritalin at a very low dose situationally. The doc seems to allude that he should increase the dose of that too but he's doing fine on the dose and rarely has to take any at all. I'm confused.
