I could use some advise. I was on zoloft for 23 years when it pooped out. I tried Prozac for 8 weeks and Lexapro for 6 weeks. Both didn’t work. Venlafaxine I gave 4 weeks but side effects stopped me. I am now on nortriptyline. Was on 75 for 25 days and raised to 100 yesterday after blood test showing theraputic window. Has anyone tried the old Tricyclic antidepressant and had them work . How long dothey take to fullly kick in. Could use some encouragement
