I wouldn't consider it identical to TCA's.
For starters, in mice SJW is a smart drug. It lacks prominant anticholingeric side effects. Its nootropic action may be mediated by sigma recptors.
In addition, SJW is not directly cardiotoxic like the TCA's.
So if they both work about as well, why not keep your cognition and your cardiac function??
