Has anyone used and or knows of anyone that has used lofepramine before?

Has it worked? What have you/they thought about it?

Any information would be useful/helpful. I have just been put on lofepramine, 70mg at 1 or 2 a night.

Thanks :-)

" This may help you get more information. Lofepramine is a tricylic antidepressant. They are older than and work different from SSRIs. This drug effects serotonin but also noradrenaline. So if you want more info I would search tricyclic antidepressant information. Maybe about the drug class in general. Then I would search noradrenaline and its effects on mood. These two things should give you a broader picture of what the drug does than its piss poor description on the internet!
Let me know what you find.

Jennifer "
