- 1:55So
- 1:55step
- 1:55one,
- 1:56my
- 1:56friends,
- 1:56to
- 1:56feel
- 1:57more
- 1:57confident,
- 1:58right?
- 1:58As
- 1:58you
- 1:58read
- 1:58this
- 1:59question,
- 1:59become
- 1:59familiar
- 2:00with
- 2:00who's
- 2:01who
- 2:01in
- 2:01the
- 2:01zoo.
- 2:01What's
- 2:02a
- 2:02TCA
- 2:02and
- 2:03what's
- 2:03in
- 2:03the
- 2:03MAOI
- 2:04family?
- 2:04What's
- 2:05in
- 2:05the
- 2:05SSRI
- 2:06SNRI
- 2:07family?
- 2:07Because
- 2:08it
- 2:08matters,
- 2:08right?
- 2:09Sertraline
- 2:10doesn't
- 2:10sound
- 2:10that
- 2:11different
- 2:11than
- 2:11amitriptyline.
- 2:12And
- 2:12yet
- 2:12one
- 2:13is
- 2:13in
- 2:13the
- 2:13TCA

- 2:14the
- 2:14SSRI
- 2:15class.
- 2:15Now,

- 2:17is
- 2:17this
- 2:17blocking?
- 2:18Alpha
- 2:181
- 2:18adrenergic
- 2:19receptor.
- 2:20That's
- 2:20A.
- 2:21I
- 2:21don't
- 2:21think
- 2:21so.
- 2:21Because
- 2:22Alpha
- 2:221
- 2:23usually
- 2:23causes
- 2:24orthostatic
- 2:25hypotension,
- 2:26some
- 2:26tachycardia,
- 2:27maybe
- 2:27dizziness,
- 2:28not
- 2:28really
- 2:28dry
- 2:29mouth
- 2:29or

- 2:30can
- 2:30scratch
- 2:31that
- 2:31off
- 2:32what
- 2:32about

- 2:34constipation
- 2:35and
- 2:35blurred
- 2:35vision
- 2:35and
- 2:35dry
- 2:36mouth?
- 2:37Not
- 2:37specifically,
- 2:38no.
- 2:38It's
- 2:38more
- 2:38about
- 2:38sedation
- 2:40with
- 2:40histamine.
- 2:41So
- 2:42I'm
