Which is of greater concern? Side effects or your symptoms? Most side effects of TCAs wash out after awhile.
While were on TCAs, have you thought of Imipramine?

Its prescribed psychiatrically to treat anxiety. Its effects as a blood pressure medication will be negatory if your blood pressure is normal. It could induce hypotension as a side effect.
I'm just thinking the right antidepressant will help you tremendously. In fact, you might respond to two antidepressants very well, Like Pristiq + Wellbutrin, or Parnate + Clomipramine. I'd be on two myself, but I'm bipolar and every time I try two antidepressnats I become manic.
YOu said you worry a lot. Is this rumination?
