So sorry Phillipa! Darn I wish you felt well.
I like the idea of MAOI. But, in the STAR*D research program though, of people who got to the stage where it was time for an maoi only about 20% of them responded. Clinical studies show about 30% to 50% response. I don't know why they are touted so strongly at pbabble. Maybe real world experience is different than clinical experience.
All I can suggest is to look into classes of meds you haven't tried, even if they don't make sense. Actually, especially if they don't make sense. TCAs, stimulants, remeron, antipsychotics, depakote, lithium.
For me, it is ECT at the hospital beginning at 6:00 am. I predict it will either be real good or real bad. But meds have been real bad.
