What about TCA bro? (Tricyclic Antidepressants)

Not SSRI....but TCA? What do you think about TCA? Good or bad? @bookieboy

I take Amitrip and it helps me sleep, lowers my anxiety, makes me feel better.

a doctor tried to push me those when I was trying to get a benzo prescription, so I assume they work for anxiety. I was never interested in getting into pharmaceutical antidepressants so never tried them, though

Yeah they work well for anxiety , I can feel the diffrence

Those are much better than SSRIs and less likely to cause the same issues, so yeah they can be decent-ISH.

Thats good to hear cause I quit SSRI to get on TCA instead

I tried SSRI for 6 months and they didnt work I still felt like shit so I told my doctor I want AMITRIPTYLINE (TCA) and he said he can prescribe it but I have to quit SSRI first cause cant mix both so I quit SSRI and I got TCA (AMITRIPTYLINE) and they work much better

Its harder to get a AMITRIPTYLINE prescription than a SSRI prescription though so I was lucky

When I take AMITRIPTYLINE (TCA) I fall asleep in less than 5 minutes even if I had coffee during evening. Naturally it would take more than 5 hours to fall asleep if i had coffee during evening and without coffee about 1 or 2 hours to fall asleep
