Dinah, have you ever given thought to a trial of ECT? Its extremely useful for individuals who have mixed severe mood disorders with some thought disorder problems as you seem to have. From reading your posts, it seems you have major trouble tolerating both antidepressants and anti-psychotics. ECT could fix you up. It almost always works for problems like you have, particularly when youre unable to tolerate meds.

There is a book by Dr. Max Fink, MD titled "Electroshock: Restoring the Mind" that you would do well to read. I doubt you will get anywhere with your therapy until you tackle the fundamental underlying biological aspects of your severe mood disorder.
