Parnate was a dream for me until it stopped working and desipramine made me lactate. I'm really f*cked aren't I? *SCREAMS!!!!!!!*

> I do consider the TCAs way closer in effect than SSRIs to what an antidepressant should be, but they still are not there. An antidepressant should induce a euthymic zest for life, a more-or-less indefatigable sense of genuine well-being. True remission from dysthymia for me felt like being born again, or waking up from a 24-year nightmare. If you take an MAOI and it works, you will know what I'm talking about. If I had to choose an AD besides an MAOI to take (well, one from the US market), it would be desipramine. That definitely put a smile on my face at times, while no SSRI ever did, that's for sure.

Buprenorphine, which is known among the opioids for being an extraordinarily effective antidepressant, is a kappa antagonist.
