Have tried and given each antidepressant/antidepressant combo and augmenting substance a fair trial. Nothing really works in the long run. Currently I'm struggling to manage to drag myself to work. But there's never any surplus energy. Also, I seem to cycle between depressed states and episodes of 'more energy' but not hypomanic, i.e. 1-2 two weeks of energy. 1-2 two weeks without. I'm now taking Remeron 30mg + 30mcg of T3. I think T3 has done some improvement but it can't touch the 'down-episodes'.
I'm seeking a more stable mood and a higher mean of base-line. However, I lack a reference for what is 'normal', I'm I just whining? My pdoc has put me on behavioral activation, where I do exercises and fill out mood diaries.
Do you think medication-wise I have reach the end? I have not tried MAOI nor antipsychotics and with the mixed results I read on this board I'm not sure I want to. MAOI are not really used here. Any ideas, opinions greatly appreciated./Mattias
