> > Have you ever tried a tricyclic?> Have tried amitriptyline, nortriptyline, desipramine...I think that is all I can remember at this point. I do know that at one point I had a wonderful response to Zoloft and Pamelor, but due to GI problems (GERD)- TCA's can really be a problem when you have ongoing reflux. By the way I take Prevacid now and will go for the new endoscopic procedure within the next 6 months to correct this additional 110.00 med.
I am curious (this occurs from time to time).
1. What properties of the tricyclics exacerbate your GI situation? Noradrenergic/anticholinergic, other?
2. What is Prevacid? How does it work?
3. What is a 110.00 med?
4. Why did the cow jump over the moon?I haven’t been here that long, and I don’t know any of your treatment history. If the endoscopic procedure is successful, will you be able to go back to a tricyclic? Are there any drugs that you can take that would abolish the GI effects of a tricyclic?
How about combining Zoloft and Wellbutrin instead? It seems to be an excellent combination for some people. Wellbutrin has also been used for AD/HD, although I don’t know how effective it is. In addition, it often counteracts the sexual side-effects of the SSRIs.
Thanks for providing any answers to the silly questions I have asked.
