> I didn't think about any dirty play from other drug companies. The only thing that bothers me is when I look at a lot of ssri's I see poop out happening(or so it appears) to everyone over time. Why start something if it will just poop out? I would like to change to a new AD since my nortryptline makes my sleep and mood worse when I work out. And I need to excercise to help myself. It might take a few days, but over the last few years all mood and sleep disturbance has occurred when I have tried to work out. My doc doesn't quite buy it, but I have found other people with similiar experience on nortryptline and amitryptline. It is almost like the AD causes depression??? I know it sounds funny, but that is the way it feels sometimes. I have not heard of anybody feeling this way on Celexa or any other ssri's so that is why I am considering Lexapro. I tried remeron, but too powerful, and caused a sponge head feeling. Thanks for your input on ssri poop out if you have had experiences with that.

John,Just an aside here, but I found that nortriptyline and Celexa or nortriptyline and Zoloft work well *together*. The tricyclic didn't do much good by itself, and SSRI by itself doesn't work for me. You might try a lower dose of NT combined with an SSRI.
