Thanks much, Linkadge. I am hopeful on the stimulating front because the lethargy regime got old a long time ago.
Of the TCAs, I've been on imipramine, clomipramine, doxepin, trazodone (tetra), and mirtazapine (tetra). I have not been on nortryptaline. It was considered many years ago, but I was not a good candidate because I was non-compliant with the blood work requirements. I've since moved on to other doctors, but no one has mentioned nortryptaline even though I've been on plenty of meds requiring blood monitoring.
I'll bring it up at my next visit. If desipramine doesn't work out, I'll suggest the nortryptaline/lithium combo. I've had moderate success with lithium in the past, but my last two psychiatrists haven't been too keen on it (I'm sure the history notes about me wrapping my car around a tree while on lithium and a variety of other meds during my more carefree/careless youth don't help much on that front).
Thanks again.
