TCAs are probably more popular w/ pdocs because more minor cases are handled by family docs or just don't get treatment (at least not chemical treatment).
Also, pdocs are specialists, so they seem more likely to use older and off label drugs than a family doc. And TCAs can handle pain, headaches, ADD/ADHD (for some people...), sleep, etc., so they're probably still a go-to class for a lot of patients.
