Hi Jon,
I have problems somewhat similar to yours and I'll let you and the world for that matter know the second I find something that works! :) I know it sucks... Anyway, what are your symptoms exactly? Someone here might have an insight given more specific info. Have you ever tried prozac + zyprexa. There were a couple of recent studies showing this combo effective for treatment resistent depression. It apparently causes a marked increase in serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine instead of just serotonin. Who knows if that has anything to do with it, but it might be worth a try right?
Good luck,
Jon> well, here i am after 5 years of pretty darn bad dysthymia and sp (and a life time of mild dysthymia and sp) in that time there has been 10 books read, 20 psychologist visits, and a dozen ad trials, including luvox, paxil, wellbutrin, parnate, nardil, selegeline, dexedrine, anafranil, ritalin, adrafinil, effexor... and all for at least 4 weeks. and its not because too many side effects (although they were there) no med has ever helped for more than a couple days.

> my question is: has anybody found help for their dysthymia and sp? any info would be great, but especially info about people who have been treatment resistent. i am somewhat hopeful about amisulpride and mirapex, but, i have also been hopeful about a lot of things that didnt turn out...
