> Just wondering which meds, or combos of meds people have had some success - specifically with dysthymia? (Also the dosage - I've read that dysthymia often requires higher doses to acheive results)

> For me, wellbutrin sr did nothing - all the way up to 200mg twice daily.

> Now trying effexor xr. Helps me some w/concentration & being a bit more out-going/sociable, but I'm still low on energy/motivation. Also makes me sleepy.

Michael: I am taking Parnate 60/day and lithium 900/day with wonderful results. MAOI's have a reputation for a high success rate with dysthymia. I am dysthymic as well. I tried almost all the others and talked my doc into a trial of Parnate, and I am thankful. Blessings,
