God i love the diversity that a worldwide forum like this brings to the oft-insularistic North American.
Wolverhampton, i had to look it up!
Cooljelly (and how could you not like a name like that), welcome aboard mate (if you're a guy that is, i dont know what a female... err mate wud be called?) and nice to have you on SR. Just
love how you people talk.
But aye,
'tis "a right bummer" indeed to be poly-afflicted
and that's a pretty wild ride you describe. Can't say I can answer your call to relate, but betcha that
someone around here has been through worse.
Again - nice that you found us!

Imipramine, namebrand Tofranil, the first successful TCA antidepressant synthesized in the '50s, actually remains the standard by which all new ADs are measured in efficacy. The advent of the newer SSRIs, etc., are "better" only in their side-effect profiles, some having virtually none, whereas the TCAs typically carry the unwanted side-effects of drowsiness, difficulty urinating and dry mouth, to name a few.
