Amitriptyline
"i have suffered for many, many years with major depressive disorder among others  I have tried way too many different drugs to alleviate my symptoms.  While most meds helped to some degree it was rather like putting a bandaid on a hemorrhaging aorta.  Since I have started on only 25 mg of amitriptyline my life has turned around. I feel like my old self.  I never dreamed i would have the opportunity to feel so "normal".  The years were flying by and I thought my lot in life was to get by with my bandaid firmly affixed.  Now I am strong emotionally and whatever has come down the pike has not paralyzed my being.  I am thrilled and grateful that my Psych let me try this.  At 69 (and a half) i truly have a new lease on the rest of my life.  "
