Dear Scott, you are not doomed, and here's why:
You can try all kinds of things that are not antidepressants, like:
Buspirone - as effective as an SSRI at 60-90 mg.
All the anticonvulsants - including Topiramate and tiagabine.
Pindolol - not just an augmenting agent.
Selegiline - 60 mg of selegiline (an MAOI-B) is the equivalent of 30 mg of phenelzine according to one of Dr. Bob's colleagues on the Tips.
Pramipexole, Bromocriptine, Ropinirole - dopamine agonists which have been tried in depression and bipolar disorder in the 1980s.
And much more, which I can tell you about. For everyone who insists they have tried them all, there is 5 viable options. That is the great part about psychopharmacology.
Keeping your best interests in mind,
TSA West-------------------------- :)
