Lamotrigine - good side-effect profile; most antidepressant properties of the anticonvulsants.
Carbamazepine XR- less side effects than Lithium or divalproex sodium.
Topiramate - the newest mood-stabilizer; it promotes weight loss.
Buspirone - an effective antidepressant and anxiolytic at high doses.
Maprotiline - a tetracyclic that came out around the time as Prozac did but has no hype; it has fewer side-effects than tricyclics; it is unique because it works on noradrenaline.
Moclobemide (RIMA) - requires none of the dietary restrictions as traditional MAOIs; it is very stimulating and is a dream to take compared to phenelzine.
Pramipexole - proven effective in depressive illnesses by two studies on Medline.
Augmentation of anything you have tried before with Lithium, Pindolol, or buspirone (I take pindolol). http://www.med.nyu.edu/Psych/aug/
Augmentation of anything you have tried with stimulants such as methylphenidate, dexedrine, or pemoline.
Atypical Neuroleptics/Antipsychotics with antidepressant properties: Risperidone, Olanzapine, Quetiapine, Ziprasidone (newest).
Provigil - a stimulant that is a possible mood-brightener according to studies done on mammals.
Selegiline (MAOI-B), an antidepressant that at 20 mg TID is almost comparable to 30 mg Phenelzine.
