Hey there Jo, thanks for the response.

The planned transition will be to a tricyclic, but thanks for the heads up on your experiences. In any case I am pretty much a living side effect, I don't really know what the effects are supposed to be that should (or should have) alleviate(d) this living hell.

If I get to purgatory I will definitely have to ask the main man for an exemption on a been there, done that basis.
