i'd question going back on the same meds that caused trouble. there are so many choices now. tofranil and nardil were the first anti-ds, and still considered the 'classic cars' of meds by older shrinks. the dietary restrictions on nardil, an mao inhibitor, have been eased considerably. the beauty of maois and tofranil (imipramine hcl) is they are 'broad-spectrum' meds, particularly nardil. when you consider the number of neurotransmitters discovered keeps growing, you may see the advantage of 'non-specific' reuptake inhibitors vs. ssris. mono amine oxydase--mao--is the master enzyme that breaks-down All neurotransmitters---known and yet to be discovered-- so if your depression is related to something other than just seratonin, maois will likely stop it---you may get manic, but that goes with any anti-d, and may be adjusted. good luck, in any event. i'd at least run this by your dr. and, if he's young, ask he confer with some older drs. in his loop.
