Most of the doctors I see are idiots. They don't know how, or don't want to give anything except one basic antidepressant with nothing else.
I did try clomipramine with LI which worked partially for about a week. I was really surprised that a med. could actually help me.
Last session I brought up thyroid hormone and the doc said maybe we could try that with a TCA.
It seems like augmentation has mainly been documented with the TCAs. Anything with an SSRI is undocumented, although I did see some research on adding a drug could PINDOLOL to an SSRI. For some reason I think it will work. But, the doc says no. I've also tried SSRI + neuroepileptic which failed.
I did add remeron to effexor, but not long enough. I also add wellbutrin to something but again not long enough.
I have to look into that drug in the first post. I'm not familiar with it.
Thanks,
Dave
