PJ, there's a reason your doctor didn't suggest trying ludiomil this time...
I don't think it's a TCA, though -- and it doesn't seem to be prescribed often enough for rxlist.com to bother with having it in its database.
Nortriptyline is NOT going to be anywhere near as bad -- I promise. If it is bad for you, you can come beat my butt. ;^D As I recall, nort. is a sort of daughter-drug to the TCAs, and I know that it and desipramine are supposed to be the least s/e problematic of the class. Nort. was the only TCA I could ever use at all, because of my idiopathic hypotension. NO dizziness, even for me with my 90/60 to 85/50 BP.
Seriously, Peej -- the worst that will happen is that it doesn't work. You've said yourself that you can put up with a certain level of s/e if the drug works. You won't know unless you try this, but it's a seriously good drug.
C'mon, don't make me get my flying monkeys!
