Shar,
Do a search under the key words 'poop out' in the Tips section (see top of page) for examples of standard treatments for poop out: thyroid meds (i.e. cytomel), switching to another serotenergic agent, addition of bromocriptine (I would suggest pramipexole instead), adding on naltrexone, or adding on a mood stabilizer (i.e. lithium). As adding on a mood stabilizer is most likely to cause side effects, maybe this alternative should be saved for last unless you have any symptoms of bipolar disorder or cyclothymia (i.e. periods of lethargy alternating with periods of increased energy).
