I am so sorry you feel so bad. If it helps, so do I !
Gosh, ya know, if that cocktail isn't working, especially at that high parnate dose, I dunno, it kind of tells me the whole cocktail is off base. Earlier in this thread there was mention of ritalin and zyprexa. I agree with both of those. That said, you obviously do not have a deficiency of neurotransmitters. 100mg parnate would more than fix that. It is something else. Keep telling yourself, it is something else, and keep asking, what is it? If it isn't dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, what is it? I guess I am saying that through all the badness here, there is one small good side....the meds are giving you some rather loud clues.
I could suggest several places to start looking for the severe depression cause, but that's another story. The meds may actually be contributing more than helping. Actually, if you are indeed feeling suicidal, then there is no doubt about it. They are either completely doing nothing good or they are doing bad. Either way, loud clues.
Lithium has worked miracles before, so even though you are disappointed with the choice, ya never know.
Back to where I started....I like the earlier suggestions of ritalin and zyprexa. As for any weight gain on any med, screw that. This aint no time to be concerned about weight.
