Most of times doctors are reclutant to give older antidepressant (tricyclic and MAOI) when the newer ones don't work and are more likely to add an antipsychotic or mood stabilizer. I got some beneficial effect form a low dose of a tricyclic one.

I am glad that you are feeling better. I know.. that is expensive .. not for us..
