Carmen, I have a story to tell re Pamelor combined with HRT. Be very careful!!!!!!! Pamelor and HRT combination has caused me 10 years of breast pain......there is a "little description" in the Pamelor pamplet that "combined with estrogen can can breast enlargement" which happened to me ... long story short...I've suffered SEVERE breast pain....caused by enlarged breast glands and have searched all over the USA for relief. I'd NOT recommend antidepressant combined with HRT especially Pamelor!!!!!! I'd like to ask ANYONE who has had a similar problem to correspond with me. Thanks. >>>
