> I don't feel craving for the pills, i take them cause i sometimes need them to act normally in society (school in my case).
Yes. I understand.
> AND i feel that the dosulepin that i'm being given, which is a tricyclic, is not really working. My doc tough, is of mind that the dosulepin needs 1 YEAR before it really helps,
I have never heard of such a thing. Of course, it is worth the investment if it works. It's a hell of a gamble, though. I have spent over a year on nortripyline, and it hasn't worked. I hope there is something particularly magic about dosulepin. If it works, please come back to Psycho-Babble and let us know. It might be worth for some of us in the US to import this stuff.
> sometimes now i take not less then 7 of these nicotine pills and feel the dopamine enlichtening me...
Are the patches expensive? I don't know how much nicotine they deliver. They might not deliver the amount necessary for you to sustain an antidepressant effect. You should probably take between 3.5-7.0mg per day.
