Do you have some references that show that tricyclics are ineffective for SP. My understanding of the current state of the art is that SSRIs and tricyclics are equally likely to be effective for SP or at least that there is no reason to believe that TCAs are not as effective. I do understand that MAOI are supposed to have a slight advantage in treating depression and SP. However MAOIs are usually saved til last as they are by far the most dangerous ADs. Personally if I were in his position I would try a TCA first because they are much easier to handle than MAOIs
However, De gustibus.Cheers,
