[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 309160, member: 2423"] Just wanted to add that tricyclics fell out of favor when SSRIs were introduced because they can have rare cardiac side effects (and are lethal when overdosed). But according to our psychiatrists, tricyclics can be excellent medications in certain situations, particularly for anxiety. In my family, we react poorly to SSRIs and respond very favorably to tricyclics. I have been on either Nortriptyline or Amitriptyline for most of the last 4 years for migraines, IBS, insomnia and stress. In mid-September I went in for major reconstructive foot surgery, and my husband said he had never seen me so calm facing such a stressful situation. I know it's because I'm taking 15 mg Amitriptyline. This is all my long way of saying that I agree difficult child 1's skin picking could clear up by putting him back on Elavil (and it'll help his IBS, too). [/QUOTE]
