Have you tried augmenting a MAOI with lithium? I've hear that sometimes is great for partial response.
I've also heard of triiodothiadine used as an augmentor.
The most intriguing MAOI augmenting agent described by Bernstein was Permax! He hypothesized that some of his patients (who were partial responders to MAOI's, but didn't respond to any of the serotonergic or NE drugs) were responding to increased levels of dopamine. He tried adding Permax, and about 75% got a favorable response, with about 50% claiming a significant improvement.
