Dear Elizabeth
Many thanks for taking the time to help me out. I'd actually taken the plunge this week & started clonidine 0.1 mg in a patient with A/D induced sleep disturbance and a patient with PTSD (markedly intrusive symptoms, rather than avoidant)Unfortunately, psychopharmacology is not taught in any structured way beyond a very basic level in the UK even to specialists, and I am always keen to learn new strategies.
Lofepramine is a relatively NA specific MARI, with reduced antihistaminergic & anticholinergic potential in comparison with the older drugs. Its not very sedative. I accept your point about tricyclics as adjunctive medication but that seems culturally foreign to me, as they are regarded as a 'bad thing'. Hmmmmm. Thanks once again & cheers, Nick
