I have not tried tricyclics but my doc put me in seroquel at night and Zoloft in the morning. Seroquel is a mood stabilizer and keeps the anxiety at bay as you start an SSRI. It’s working much better than the few days I tried Lexapro. I couldn’t take the anxiety! And while I still have anxiety in the morning , it’s very doable. I’m at day 15 and am hoping this anxiety ceases. Ask you doc for a mood stabilizer. It may help. Good luck.
