Here are some novel treatments for you that you and your doctor can explore:
Topiramate - the newest mood-stabilizer; it promotes weight loss
Desipramine - the least side-effects of all the Tricyclics; one of the few SNRIs
High-dose Venlafaxine - at higher doses Venlafaxine affects more chemicals than SSRIs.
Buspirone - an effective antidepressant and anxiolytic at high doses.
Dopamine Agonists - Pramipexole has two studies on it (I take it).
"Power Combinations" - Remeron+Effexor; Wellbutrin+Remeron, RemeronProzac
Augmentation of anything you have tried before with Lithium, Pindolol, or Buspar (i took pindolol
Foreign medications to the US: the RIMA Moclobemide; Reboxetine; Amisulpride, etc
Atypical Neuroleptics/Antipsychotics with antidepressant properties: Risperidone, Olanzapine, Seroquel
Provigil - a stimulant that is possibly effective
Irreversable MAOIs - Phenelzine, Tranylcypromine. Extremely Effective.
MAOI-B - Selegiline, an antidepressant almost comparable to Phenelzine.
Nefazodone - great for sleep; no sexual dysfunction; no anticholinergics side-effects.
Lamotrigine - good side-effect profile; most antidepressant properties
Carbamazepine - less side effects than Lithium or divalproex sodium
Take care.
