I just registered for this board although I have read a lot of it in the past when looking for certain info. Anyways... I've determined that I am treatment resistant (stage 2 to be exact, bc I've never tried a TCA). I've been in treatment (both medication and therapy and group and dbt) on and off for about 6 years. I have tried: wellbutrin -twice, celexa, effexor, and now i'm on paxil, plus I tried St. John's wort, also trazodone for sleeping. I've gone up to maximum doses on all of these and have had absolutely no improvement, not even minimal relief of some symptoms. I don't want to try an antipsychotic yet (mainly bc of weight gain), but I'm thinking of suggesting to my psychiatrist next time I see her (although I'm worried she won't be coorperative): T3 (thyroid hormone), modafinil (provigil), maybe remeron. My thyroid test came back normal, but I've heard T3 can be helpful anyway. Has anyone tried any of these? Had any success, or not? Thanks!
