This Norotriptyline would be great, because those who have schizoaffective disorder (like me...great selection of disorders I have...I even have a receding hairline) do not respond to antidepressants. I take Cymbalta, but that's because it knocks out about 40% of the pain -- it has no antidepressant effect. Do you know if it's approved for use in the US? I'll have to talk to Dr Duncan...
