> i forgot to mention in my post that i had an improvement on buspar also. that one was after i had been on it for a couple weeks and lasted about 10 days.

It is possible that the improvement was the result of the actions not of the buspirone itself, but rather, its main metabolite (1-PP). 1-PP acts much like Remeron, blocking NE alpha-2 receptors. Perhaps Remeron would make a good candidate for you.

> the abilify, seroquel and lithium gave me an instant improvement.

That is actually very typical.

If you come across a crystal ball, please let me know.

Today was disappointing for me. About midday, my mood dropped off rather abruptly. I have recovered somewhat, but do not enjoy the same degree of improvement that I had during these last few days. Still hopeful, though. Recovery from a long-standing or severe depression rarely follows a steady course, especially early in treatment. It is hard to guess if my feeling worse is just a temporary lapse or the signal of the end of the antidepressant response.
