Hi.

I understand your concern .

Treptomer contains amitriptiline . It is TCA.
Best alternative and 1st choice in depression is SSRI .

SSRI means selective seretonin receptor inhibitor for example in SSRI sertraline / escitalopram / peroxetine etc uaed in depression .

Clonazepam is beat alternative to Alprazolam and has minimal addictive potential .

Depression with sleep disorder can be treated with anti depressant like mirtazapine. It has dual role in depression and insomnia.

I hope I have answered your question .

Still if you have a query then feel free to ask .

Thank you .
Get well soon .
