It's stuff like TMJ, vertigo, extreme hyper somnia, low blood pressure, weakness, acne, itching, hives, rash, GI issues... Just to name a few.
If the TCAs are possibly better in their side effects for me it would be worth it.

I'm really concerned that you're getting yourself into worse and worse problems by trying these drugs. Usually the drugs that are less often used are that way because they have more and/or more dangerous side effects. If I were you, I'd be trying hard to get off all of these drugs and trying hard with every non-drug way to help your depression.
