Damn COVID and damn Lockdown,
is this the purpose? To drag everyone down who was really stable before the crisis? How many people are going to commit suicide due to the COVID regulations?
Don't know what to do. Maybe call the Psychiatrist. But if he had had an idea, he would have told me.

Yeah, Germany is in lockdown. The germans have a tendency to rubber-stamp everything that the government does. That is what the Nazis took advantage of.

Yep. The 1% who refuse to wear a mask; refuse to social distance, etc.
But, another med besides trimipramine is lamictal. I have had so/so luck with it.
Best,
Jay

Maybe. I don't refuse

It turns out that S-Acetyl-Glutathione was making me worse. I am better now!

I took Lamictal for a while but I had too much cognitive impairment. And I don't like the sexual side effects of tricylclics.

>I've noticed no sexual side effects of trimipramine. Maybe it only happens with the TCAs that are noradrenaline or serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

I *am* lucky in that it is the most effective drug I've tried that is classified as an antidepressant. It's good enough that it would be worth some sexual side effects.

Right, but Nortyptilene knocked my sexual life out at a very low dosage. My psychiatrist said the same can be expected with other tricyclics.

>Trimipramine is atypical among tricyclics, in that it's not a reuptake inhibitor. That said, Wikipedia does list sexual dysfunction as a common side effect. But then again, it lists insomnia as common, and yet it is an antihistamine that is often prescribed *against* insomnia.

Before it became unavailable I was more than happy on low dose trimipramine. More dreams, deeper sleep.

It says on Wikipedia its a reuptake inhibitor? I don't think anything good would come from it. Im taking 5 psychmeds. I consider this crisis to be over.
