Here's the post by Adam that you have to read. It's good advice but it's also incredibly inspirational - the kind of thing it's helpful to read periodically.http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20001115/msgs/48935.html
There's been a lot of chatter on the main board about the patch (ENSAM patch I believe it's called) and when it might be available. I don't think there's a definite date yet but you'll probably find that out by searching.
Cymbalta (a more balanced SSNRI), as I mentioned before, is also worth looking for but unfortunately the approval/release dates keep getting pushed back.
Myrapex has been getting some good words lately on the main board (don't know if I've mentioned that one yet.)
Have you tried Amisulpride? That is another one with lots of good word of mouth. (Look for AndrewB posts I believe but I could be wrong on that one.)
Good luck and keep me posted!
