Hi Jimmy.
SalArmy4Me has done a wonderful job at listing some very effective treatments. There is little I can add.
Which tricyclics have you tried and what drugs have you combined with them.
Effexor + tricyclic?
Wellbutrin + tricyclicNardil and Parnate are two completely different drugs. Parnate is sort of a mixture of Nardil and selegiline - but with fewer side effects than Nardil.
You can mix Parnate with a tricyclic (desipramine or nortriptyline) with a stimulant and/or Mirapex with thyroid with lithium and Lamictal.
How's that for a cocktail? It is doable (word?).
Take inventory of what drugs you have been partially responsive to, and see whether or not you have tried combining them. You may hit something nice.
Wellbutrin + Effexor
Wellbutrin + Parnate
Wellbutrin + ZoloftGabitril
Depakote
TrileptalSpend a day going through Dr. Bob's Psychopharmacology Tips. It will renew your hope.
I wish us both good luck. It appears we need it.
Sincerely,
ScottOh, before I forget... Sulpiride and amisulpiride both carry a greater risk of producing TD than do the newer atypical neuroleptics. However, this risk is supposedly greatly reduced when they are used at the low dosages prescribed for depression and dysthymia.
