Hi B2C.
> only tried 2 tca's remeron and trazadone-nothing.
Neither one of these drugs is a TCA. Examples of TCA are: imipramine, desipramine, amitriptyline, nortriptyline, doxepin, trimipramine, protriptyline, amoxapine, and clomipramine.
For depression, I prefer nortriptyline and desipramine because they have relatively mild side effects compared to the others. For OCD, clomipramine is the most effective. I am currently taking a combination of Nardil and nortriptyline.

I don't know. What are the main symptoms of your illness?
> i have always made the assumption that dopamine was my key.Can you detail for me the reasons you have for coming to this conclusion? It would be helpful.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
