I'm sorry for you. But to be honest, the antipsychotic seems to me counter-productive. I would remove that stuff. Talk to your doctor about that.
Second of all, you might think to add an agent to remove the sensitization of your postsynaptic 5-HT. An agent like the Lithium or Buspirone might do the work nicely.
If i remember correctly, you have at the moment a bipolar depression resistant? Am i right? Your fire-in fire-out responses to the meds sound a lot like me. This is why i suggested the above agents. Just a though.
Good luck!
