Nope. It's called 'aint tried the right one yet'. Though the title to your post says you've tried everything, there isn't enough time in a lifetime to try everything.
Prozac+Zyprexa together?
Amisulpride?
Adrafinil?
Ritalin?
Adderall?
Risperdal?
Any combination of the above?We each have very particular unique genes, chemistry, personalities, and circumstances. Sometimes the difference between a drug that works and one that doesn't is just a tiny minute molecular detail. For example, on paper Adrafinil and Provigil look identical. In my own trials, one was totally horrible and the other totally wonderful. It only took a tiny seemingly insignificant difference for my body to either embrace or reject the particular drug.
I too at one time said I had tried everything. That was before I tried Prozac+Adrafinil+Zyprexa. Prozac+Amisulpride is good to me too. Don't give up. Look where you haven't looked. Concentrate on the list above.
