>Why would the "augmenting" drugs make me tired, spaced out, reflexes slower, nauseous, dizzy, etc.?
It really depends on which drug you use to augment. In terms of your regular medication, Seroquel, lithium and Anafranil can all cause some sedation. Lithium and Anafranil can cause nausea. In terms of the augmenting drugs, Strattera has also been reported to cause tiredness and nausea at times.
50mg of Anafranil is quite a low dose, but Anafranil is potent. Have you tried a range of doses for your depression?
What benefit do you think you get from Anafranil versus Seroquel versus lithium? Perhaps your combination has because a little over-complex, increasing the risk of adverse effects.
Take care.
