> my impression was just that it happened to be the one combo that they did the study with. i'm guessing any strong A/D like effexor or cymbalta, combined with lithium / lamictal / abilify / geodon, etc. would do the trick.

> although, i'm just finishing up my course of ECT and do happen to be on 150mg of nortriptyline, recently switched to from Effexor which this time wasn't doing the trick. But I also can't say it's particularly working because i'm actively in the process of thinking about how to put my affairs in order. So don't look to me for guidance.lithium is known for anti-suicidal effect, and has a strong long-term neutrophic effect. maybe it might be good to try this combination?
