Hi Scott...I completely aggree. Moclobemide is not an potanial drug. In my country its has get the indication for social anxiety. We have had it here for 11 yeas.
But I know one famous pdoc, that add an small amount Citalopram 10- 20 mg, and this combo enhace the effect very promt. I know the risk of combo MAOI, with ssri, but in this case it seems to work, without serotonergic syndrom as Nardil or Parnate would do. And in case if one had serotonergic syndrom sign, one should have Pericatin at home, just to be sure.
By the way Scott...You mention that Valoprate was consider to be better than Litium in bipolar 2. I also had that opinion. But a proffessor certenly preffered Litium in this case, due to its more potent antidepressant effect.
By the way Scott....A couple of non farmacological tips, witch is easy to forgett.
30 min of regular exercice......every day
Make sure to be out in daylight 45 mg/day
What about 10mg omega 3 fett acid. Have you tried it. I haven´t.
I know you want to have a trial on memantadine. It don´t think it take so long time to we get it in my country.
Clomipramine infusion (or injection) + Litium + Tryptofan. An old but great combo in refractary cases, that some clinical use in my country, with great succes.
And as I wrote lastely. Lamotrigine + Topipramate seems also be greate in bipolar depression. Ivan Goldberg wrote about this.
Sincerly
