Well, no - he told me it would be sedating. I've had experience with other TCAs so I thought I knew what the side effects might be (dry mouth, constipation etc). I should have known - many of the drugs that are sedating for most people don't sedate me at all. Like Mirtazapine - keeps me awake.

I can tolerate most side effects. Insomnia wrecks me though. And I can't really do any thing about it because things like Z-drugs make my depression far far worse so I have to avoid those.
