i have been on most of the SSRI's at some point for depression and i was just wondering if anyone had success with a tricyclic when SSRIS didn't work for them. i know they are older and have more potential side effects but i wonder why would they still prescribe them in some cases?? is it b/c they help some that SSRI's don't help??

I have also tried wellbutrin which sent my anxiety too high so i can't do that one either.
