Well, hang in there, there are many options to try. I've tried over 30 meds in the last two years but I still haven't lost my determination to find something that will harness this monster.
Depending on which side-effects you had with the Nardil you might still want to consider giving Parnate a shot. I know the diet can be a pain in the arse but it's much easier to adapt to than depression. It was the first drug that pulled me out of my most severe bout, it took some heavy convincing to get me to try anything at that point, my depression was so wretched. So, though I couldn't stay on it, I am particularly fond of it.
Best of luck,
K.
P.S. I'm heading to Denver next week to see a researcher/pdoc who specializes in treatment resistance. If I find out anything more relating to the dopamine issues I'll let you know.
Also, I don't know how much you like doing research online but there are some decent resources out there. Let me know if you want any direct links.
